Few things in life are more important than family, which is why our approach to elderly care is always empathetic and highly personalised. With us to support you, we’ll help you protect and provide for your loved ones.

Caring for the elderly is often deeply personal, and should be handled with the utmost care. We aren’t just highly experienced in this area – we approach every case with the compassion it deserves. We’ll guide you and your loved ones through every step, tailoring legal advice to your unique situation. We can help with: 

 

  • Safeguarding assets 
  • Navigating inheritance tax 
  • State benefit entitlement 
  • Setting up Powers of Attorney and guardianship 
  • Making living arrangements.  
  • Financial planning 
  • Home matters (including releasing finance and maintaining independents) 
  • Paying for care 
  • Changing a Will 
  • Setting up trust funds 

 

If you need to make a decision about living arrangements, or are helping elderly parents or relatives, we’re here to support you.  

I am most grateful for your kindness to me in making a painful process go smoothly.
