These days elderly persons have more occasion to seek legal advice than ever before.
The elderly can be bombarded with advice from well meaning (but often ill-informed) members of their family, from commission hungry salesmen keen to sign them up to (often unsuitable) financial products and so on.
The advantage that Solicitors have over any other profession is that we can provide seamless advice covering every area of concern.
In particular, we can help with the following:
- Lasting Powers of Attorney to enable elderly people to appoint trusted relatives or others to assist them in the event that they are incapable of managing their own affairs.
- Possible impact of care fees and how these can be minimised.
- Wills (see separate section).
- Living Wills or advance directives in relation to medical treatment.
- Lifetime tax planning and financial advice.
Whilst we are not qualified to advise on particular products we can discuss your needs with you and refer you to trusted financial advisers who will approach the situation with your needs in mind and take the time necessary t achieve the outcome you need.
We are happy to travel, within a reasonable distance of any of our offices, to meet clients.
