We have beenmembers of Solicitors for the Elderly, a national solicitors' group that specialises in advising on legal issues that particularly affect the elderly. We recognise that a particularly patient and sensitive approach is often required when advising the elderly and their families.

The areas that we can advise on include:

• Care home fees - your rights to financial assistance, protecting your home from forced sale, alternative methods of funding
• Powers of Attorney
• Court of Protection applications
• Wills and probate
• Financial and physical abuse
• Inheritance tax planning

For assistance please contact Shameela Ahmed or Neil Lloyd-Evans on 020 8508 4691
