Supporting the elderly or vulnerable
If you are responsible for, or are a vulnerable person, it’s reassuring to know a trusted professional is just a phone call away.
When managing the affairs of a vulnerable person, sensitivity, empathy and understanding are as important as legal expertise. Our specialist team of solicitors are on hand to help elderly or vulnerable people, and those caring for them, with the full range of legal issues they might face.
How we can help
We have years of experience supporting vulnerable clients. We will get to know you, appreciate your particular circumstances, and offer practical, tailored advice in simple everyday language.
Our team can either provide a full review of your affairs or help with specific issues like managing your finances, budgeting and completing tax returns. We can also advise which benefits you can claim.
If health and capacity become an issue, we can help to arrange care at home or make the move into sheltered accommodation, care communities or residential care much easier. For example, we can assist with selling property and clearing out belongings.
Our team includes experienced chartered tax advisers, trust and estate practitioners, court approved deputies, solicitors and paralegals. However, you will have a single point of contact – a friendly face to guide you through the process and answer any questions you might have.
