From Legal Problem - to Finished Outcome

Legal Solutions

Safeguarding & Abuse

Safeguarding & Abuse

Safeguarding we believe is an essential feature of caring for elderly and vulnerable adults. It’s ensuring they receive the care they need, no one is taking an advantage of them or financial abusing them and protecting them and their assets.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Lasting Powers of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you appoint someone to make decisions for you. This might be if you’re unavailable or not able to make decisions. A Lasting Power of Attorney is a must for everyone.

Deputyships

Deputyships

If someone lacks mental capacity they are not able to make a lasting power of attorney. What you can do for them, to safeguard and protect them is to make a deputy ship application to the Court of Protection.

Probates and Intestacy

Probates and Intestacy

When someone dies hopefully they die with a will. The will is followed and the beneficiaries receive the gifts. If someone hasn’t made a will they die intestate.

Probate Disputes

Probate Disputes

When someone dies usually there’s no problems. However, if they’ve died without a will this can cause issues. Even if there is a will disputes arise over its interpretation and how assets should be split.
