Elderly Client Services
Leicester Older Client Legal Services
Growing older is a part of life. But it is also one that is full of benefits too. Grandchildren are born. You have the freedom and time to go on that holiday you always wanted to. You can take it down a notch.
Growing older also brings about changes in our legal circumstances. What would you want to happen should you lose the mental capacity to look after yourself? How can I make sure that my loved ones will benefit as much as possible from my life’s hard work? Who can provide a tailored service to suit my needs?
Tailored services for the elderly
Leicester solicitors aims to provide a high level of service that provides value for money for all its clients. However, we also believe that providing a good service involves tailoring it to client’s individual needs, which is why we offer a unique service for our elderly clients. We recognise that it may be difficult for some of our elderly clients to come into our offices, so with this in mind we are able to arrange visits to your home or care home. We also understand that relatives and carers often seek advice on behalf of the elderly and we are fully equipped to deal with such cases.
How we can help
The types of services Leicester solicitors provide most commonly for elderly clients and their relatives and carers includes:

Lasting Powers of Attorneys
Even if you are of perfectly sound mind now (and we hope you continue to remain so), there is always the possibility of the unfortunate happening. If you are unable to take care of your personal welfare, medical care, day-to-day living arrangements, paying bills or managing your finances, who will? Invariably, most people would prefer to have a trusted person to take care of their affairs where they cannot themselves and this can be achieved by creating a Lasting Power of Attorney. Please get in touch with Leicester solicitors to find out more about Lasting Powers of Attorneys and how you can go about creating them.
