Elderly Client

Planning ahead is something that we all intend to do, be it to provide for loved ones or to choose who we would like to help us in case we cannot make important decisions for ourselves. We are here to assist you in making arrangements for yourself or for an elderly relative.

As we get older, these plans are more likely to become a reality so it makes sense to make arrangements now – we can help.

A will gives you this peace of mind. Without it the law takes over. This means if you are not married, your partner may not be entitled to anything. Call us for an appointment.



Making future decisions. Being able to make decisions is something that we all take for granted. Hopefully you will always be able to make the decisions that affect your life but illness or mental health issues may reduce your ability to make these decisions.

This will only come into force if either your capacity, to make decisions, is diminished or you choose for it to come into force at anytime. There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney, these cover:

We are happy to advise if you have questions relating to either yourself or your relatives. Contact us to make an appointment.

Don't worry if you have any mobility issues, we are able to make arrangements to visit you. Just let us know when you phone our team.
