Preparing for the future is important. It’s something we all put off. But in preparing for the future, we not only know our loved ones are protected but we also get the peace of mind that comes from knowing we’ve done everything we can for them. And that’s where I can help.
Many people are daunted by the thought of taking legal advice. I don’t believe in jargon and I’ll come to you if that’s easier. We are all more comfortable in our own homes.
I can help with all matters of estate planning, including the preparation of wills, understanding and planning for inheritance tax and nursing home care fees. I also deal with issues surrounding capacity, such as the preparation of Lasting Powers of Attorney and applications to the Court of Protection in circumstances where a person has lost capacity to deal with their own affairs.
I also deal with the administration of estates, whether straightforward or more complex involving business interests.
I am a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) and I am also a MENCAP recommended solicitor who advises parents/carers of those with learning disabilities on the preparation of wills.
