It is human nature to think “it will never happen to me”, but it is a sad fact of life that an increasing number of us may, at some point, have a loved one that may go into a residential care home or require care and support in their own home. This may be due to illness, old age or perhaps as the result of personal injury or an accident, and it often happens at the most inconvenient of times.
- Home
- Later Life Care
- Equity Release
Releasing some or all of the value trapped in a home can be a sensible option to help elderly or vulnerable individuals cover the cost of long-term care and reduce their financial pressures.
Giving vulnerable individuals the cash they need to pay for long-term care and other costs can make the difference in ensuring they have the care and protection they need throughout their life. If you're looking to help a vulnerable friend or relative release the equity locked in their home, we can provide the advice you need in a way that you can understand.
We can advise you on the best options available to you, and handle any conveyancing work that may arise from the equity release. And because we are Conveyancing Quality Scheme solicitors, every major lender will be happy to work with us.
