Older and Vulnerable Clients

Age, disability or injury can cause serious difficulties for people, their families and carers, and the legislation around health and care support services is constantly shifting. Our team of wills, trusts and estate lawyers, have years of expertise in this area – whether you need help making a will or support in continuing your healthcare funding, we will make the process as smooth and simple as possible.

Making things easier

If you or someone you care for needs our help, we can arrange a meeting at one of our offices or in a place you’re most comfortable – whether that’s your home, care home, or in some cases, even hospital.

If a lack of capacity means that some (or all) of the important decision making might involve either a local authority or the Court of Protection, we can help you or your loved one to make arrangements that avoid these remote decision makers being involved. Where that isn’t achievable, we’ll advise on how to make their involvement as painless and effective as possible.

Clear, professional advice

We know that clear guidance isn’t readily available for older and vulnerable people, their families and carers, so our specialist team explain everything in plain English where possible and provide compassionate, dedicated support. We can offer advice on a wide range of issues, including:

Assessing capacity
Making of wills and powers of attorney
Dealings with the Office of the Public Guardian
Applications to the Court of Protection (deputy appointments, statutory wills, authority to make gifts, health and welfare issues)
Court of Protection disputes
Creation of personal injury trusts
Supporting other deputies and attorneys in their role
Financial concerns (including assessments and care funding)
Care needs assessments, and organising the provision of care
Continuing healthcare funding and appeals
Safeguarding and deprivation of liberty safeguards
