Details of Services for the Elderly

We have extensive experience of dealing with all aspects of services for the elderly, including (click any link on the left for further information):

Court of Protection

There may be circumstances where it is necessary for an application to be made to the Court of Protection. This is a Court that deals with the affairs of people who are no longer capable of managing their own affairs.

Lasting Power of Attorney

Have you considered how you would manage your affairs if you became unable to do so yourself, because of physical or mental ill-health? Having a Lasting Power of Attorney enables you to appoint somebody to handle your affairs and minimises the problems, should this situation arise.

Long Term Residential Care

It is a fact of life that many people need to go into a nursing home or some other form of long-term residential care when they get older. Your savings and home can be used to pay for this care. But simply transferring the ownership to your children is no guarantee that your house is protected from being used to pay fees. We provide advice and practical help on dealing with situations of this kind.

Putting Property in Trust

You may want to put your property in trust for tax reasons, or to safeguard it for future purposes. We have extensive experience of drafting and advising on the different types of trust, their effects and tax implications. We can also advise on the implications and means of removing the property from trust.

Tax Planning

Tax laws are complex and forever changing. Our specialists can advise you on the best way to plan ahead and to arrange your tax affairs during your lifetime, to minimise the amount of tax payable.

Failing to plan for the future can have serious consequences for your family and loved ones. We advise you and help you plan for the future. Start or review your planning today.
