Elderly Client Services
OLDER CLIENT SERVICES LEGAL SERVICES DUDLEY
What are Elderly Client Legal Services?
Our Elderly Client Service solicitors specialize in managing the affairs of elderly clients so that when they are not able to manage their personal and legal affairs, they can have someone they trust to take over.
What are the basic principles?
Elderly clients are in the unique position that they are uncertain if and when they will be unable to deal with their legal and personal issues. In order to know that you are in safe hands during this potentially stressful time you may want to speak to one of our specialist solicitors who can handle your issues with sensitivity and professionalism.
We will ensure that we appoint a person you trust to deal with your personal and financial affairs through an Enduring Power of Attorney. These could include dealing with your property, personal finances, and personal welfare and health issues.
Another alternative is to use a Lasting Power of Attorney to appoint a trusted legal adviser to assist you in your legal affairs. This power has two branches.
- A Property and Affairs LPA
- A Personal Welfare LPA.
The first branch allows your attorney to make decisions on your behalf in relation to effective management of your bank accounts, or arranging the sale of your home. The Personal Welfare power will handle your day-to-day care and giving consent for appropriate medical treatments.
