Elder Client Services Solicitors Bournemouth

Whether you are making plans for you own retirement and old age or making plans on behalf of someone who no longer holds the capacity to do so themselves, the task is inevitably difficult. With over 20 years specialist experience in this area of work we are able to help you prepare for these situations, providing you with specialist tailored advice, leaving you with total peace of mind.

Here are a few of the Elder Client Services we can advise you on;

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA's)

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document which contains details of someone you trust (an Attorney) who will go on to make decisions on your behalf. Decisions can be made on issues such as property and your personal welfare at a time in the future when you no longer wish to make decisions or you are no longer able to make the decisions yourself due to a lack of mental capacity.

Trusts

A Trust is an agreement whereby assets are controlled by one person, either you or a nominated third person, for the benefit of individual(s) or charitable organisations (beneficiaries) that stands to gain from the Trust being established. We can help you create an appropriate Trust which will protect the interests of the chosen beneficiaries and help to save tax, where applicable.

Equity Release

Many of us spend the best part of our working lives planning and saving for the future, however, ensuring that sufficient funds are in place to maintain a comfortable life is not always as simple as you might hope. A popular financing tool for many people is to release equity from their property or another asset which has substantial capital value. This means you can obtain a steady stream of income or a capital sum whilst still retaining the use of your home throughout your retirement. We can give straightforward professional advice as to the advantages and disadvantages of the equity release scheme at an early stage. We can also recommend suitable professionally qualified independent mortgage advisers, if required.

Care Home Fees

Care Home fees are expensive. Everyone, by law, is required to contribute out of their own funds a large share of their care home fees. However, circumstances can vary. If a person has a relatively small amount of capital and income available and/or they are suffering from a highly debilitative illness, provision will be made. Each person's circumstances differ and this is reflected in the way in which you are assessed in respect of both your financial and medical circumstances. Solomons Solicitors can give you practical and informative advice to help you best plan for dealing with these circumstances.
