We offer advice and assistance in setting up trusts, whether it be for tax planning reasons or assets being held for vulnerable or younger beneficiaries.
We also offer advice and assistance to those who wish to protect their homes against care home fees.
There are two types of Powers of Attorney:
1. Continuing – this covers all financial affairs in relation to you;
2. Welfare – this deals with all the personal decisions and contains powers affecting your wellbeing and health.
You can instruct us to draft either of the above or a Combined Continuing and Welfare Attorney which deals with powers in relation to your financial affairs and welfare decisions. A Power of Attorney can be drafted to have effect immediately upon Registration, which allows your appointed attorney(s) to act immediately or the second option being that it is postponed and will only come into effect when you have lost the capacity to make decisions on your own behalf.
