SPECIALIST ADVICE BY FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION SOLICITORS IN ESSEX

Book a consultation

If you're concerned that an elderly or vulnerable relative, friend or neighbour is at risk of financial abuse or exploitation, our team can help.

In general, we have a high standard of care in this country and incidents of financial abuse and exploitation are rare. But whilst it is important not to jump to conclusions, we still have a duty to act on any suspicion. If you are responsible for an elderly or vulnerable person, or have a vulnerable friend or relative who you believe is at risk of exploitation, we can provide expert support and advice to ensure they get the protection they need.

We can help draft a Power of Attorney for finance and property, approaching the Court of Protection on your behalf where necessary and ensuring that the vulnerable individual has a legal and appropriate will. In cases where they don't, we can help in the drafting of a new one or the application for a statutory will to be made.

LOSING MENTAL CAPACITY AND HOW WE CAN HELP

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.

What does the Budget mean for Executors dealing with Probate?

The headlines around inheritance tax following the budget were noisy on how farmers will be affected, on pension pots and on the fact that there is no rise on the nil rate band in the near future. However, in the small print there is an important change: that is the amount of interest charged on unpaid tax liabilities.
