We all know that the number of older people is rising. At present, over 65 per cent of the UK population is aged 65 or over.
Older clients require the same range of legal services as any other client. We recognise the need to empathise with the needs of the elderly and the difficulties that may arise, in particular issues of vulnerability, capacity and independence.
We specialise in a wide range of legal issues of particular importance to the elderly, 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
