Our lawyers have a wealth of experience to enable them to meet the particular requirements of elderly people. Asset protection for the elderly involves:

• Alleviating the worry about care home fees
• The protection of the family home
• Organising income and assets to maximise security and benefit

and so much more.  

If you are close to retirement we can assist you with the management of your affairs to enable you to maximise your tax breaks, your pension benefits and the financial protection of you and your loved ones. 

With sound and timely planning we can help you to preserve your wealth and security.

Should illness become an issue we can help you to check what assistance you can expect from the Local Authority towards your care. Our specialist elder care team can advise on which forms of capital such as the family home, personal possessions, life insurance policies, payments from charities, funds in personal injury trusts and business interests will be ‘disregarded’

We can check what financial assessments have already been done on those of your loved ones who are already in care.  Many individuals are paying for their own care when they should not have to do so.

We can help you to claim NHS Continuing Care Funding if there is a primary nursing need when appropriate.  Such a need arises far more often than many realise and when it does the full cost of care, irrespective of ones assets is met by the NHS.  We can help you to receive the financial assistance that is your right and we can assist you to re examine past assessments and to challenge those which have not been done correctly.

Given our increased longevity and the increasing cost of care, it is more important than ever for specialist advice to be sought and properly implemented.  With good advance planning our specialist team can help families to ring-fence large value family assets in a way that:

• Still allows choices in relation to types of care
• Continues to protect our elderly clients ability to remain in their home whilst they wish to do so
• Protects our elderly client against family divisions
• Provides ‘rainy day’ funds if needed
