Advising the Elderly    Print this page

We all know that the number of older people is rising. At the moment, over 65% of the UK population is aged 65 or over.

The older client will require the same range of legal services as any other client. We recognise the need to take into account and empathise with the needs of the older client and the difficulties that may arise as people get older, in particular, issues of vulnerability, capacity and independence.

We specialise in a wide range of legal issues of particular importance to the older client, including:
  • Wills, trusts and estate planning
  • Powers of Attorney
  • Court of Protection
  • Trust administration
  • Equity release
  • Preserving assets in the event of residential or nursing care
