Care home fees advice from expert solicitors for the elderly
30 Jan 2012
Are you caring for an elderly parent at your home? Perhaps they are already ill and would otherwise be reliant on care provided privately or through Social Services at a cost of somewhere in the region of £14.00 an hour? The cost of such care over the course of a year is unthinkable. What if it was possible to secure assets to pay you back for the cost of the care over time?
Our expert solicitors for the elderly, based in Cardiff, can help your elderly parents to set up a Trust in recompense for the provision of such care.
A trust will act to ring fence assets from the future imposition of care home fees. This will ensure you are paid a calculable sum if the costs of care do become a burden for you in the future.
Although this process is not without risks, with the expert and professional assistance of a specialist team of solicitors for the elderly, the chances of success are high.
We have a specialist team of solicitors for the elderly, headed by Claire Davis, the only Welsh Director of a national organisation of specially qualified elderly solicitors. She has direct experience of dealing with issues relating to elderly care and dementia as her mother suffers from Alzheimer’s. You are therefore guaranteed not only an expert service and advice, but empathy which is not always present from other solicitors for the elderly.
If you are interested in this or any other issues relating to elderly client matters such as asset preservation through Wills, Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney or Court of Protection, please contact our expert team of solicitors for the elderly based in Cardiff.
