Advice to the Elderly

As we get older, there are many issues to consider.  In our twenties and thirties it was all about getting a job, settling down, starting a family.  In our later years it all about securing other people's future and good estate planning is an important step. Amongst them is the concern over who would look after our assets should we become ill, housebound or need to move to a nursing or residential home. 

It is possible to appoint a "attorney" to deal with all of these things and provide peace of mind. This is done by putting in place an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) whilst you are well enough to do so. If you are not well enough to do this, then your family will be able to apply to the Court of Protection to act as Receivers for you. 

We can offer advice on both the preparation of EPAs and receivership applications.
