Solicitors For The Elderly
in Harrow, London
We are sensitive to the needs of older clients – we are always ready to listen
We believe that planning for the future is important and at Ash Hill Solicitors we are particularly keen to assist our senior clients and their families in relation to the challenges which can face us all as we grow older. Some elderly clients may experience declining mental capacity which can be unpredictable and worsen suddenly between periods of remission. Meanwhile, everyday life goes on and personal/financial affairs continue to require your attention. Our dedicated team of solicitors for the elderly can help you plan for long term care including the best strategies for paying for care if it becomes necessary.
We are specialist Solicitors for the Elderly. That means that we deal with the issues that affect elderly clients such as estate planning, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, long-term care and mental incapacity.
We regularly make hospital and home visits where necessary. In addition, we often advise our clients on long-term residential and nursing care needs and how best to plan this important aspect of their lives.
How Can We Help?
Our team of solicitors based in Harrow is experienced in adapting their approach so older clients get the highest possible standard of legal support. Where it is appropriate our solicitors can also take on the role of Attorney and deal with the management of a client’s financial affairs.
For instance, we take measures to communicate in a way that suits you – whether it is using printed materials that are easier to read, or face-to-face meetings. Talk to us about your needs and we will do our best to help.
As we get older it often becomes more difficult to understand and retain advice given, so we have developed ways to provide advice in a simple and concise manner to ensure clients fully understand the issues involved.
Types of Services
Working with clients from across Harrow, our team provides legal guidance on issues including:
Entitlement to Benefits
Are you/your parents taking full advantage of the benefits and tax relief you are entitled to? Even if your family are the people caring for you, you could be entitled to benefits to help with the cost of care.
Minimising Inheritance Tax
As you begin to plan for later life you may be considering the potential impact of inheritance tax. At Ash Hill Solicitors we understand that you would want to make sure that this is minimised, to allow you to pass on more after you pass to your loved ones.
Care/Nursing Home Funding
Many people require care home or nursing help in their later life. This can be a worrying financial cost as you plan for the future. Having worked with clients in this situation we have experience and understanding in clarifying care home fees and related costs. We can help protect your assets by carefully reviewing your family’s circumstances, advising you and explaining the complicated regulations.
Wills and Probate Service
We tailor these services for our elderly clients. Our Wills and Probate solicitors have specialist knowledge in handling all aspects of estate administration. As solicitors for the elderly we offer compassionate and sympathetic advice to ensure that the process from start to finish is dealt with in an efficient manner. Our aim is to lift the burden of Probate from our client in a cost-effective manner.
