Our specialist department gives advice and support to elderly and infirm clients and their families.
We can offer prompt advice on:
- Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs): covering all decisions relating to finance, property, health and social care.
- Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPAs): after 1 October 2007 no new EPAs can be made, but current EPAs are valid and we can advise on these including roles and responsibilities and the registration process if the donor is losing or has lost mental capacity.
- Court of Protection applications if a person does not have the capacity to sign an LPA and has not made an EPA
Funding of Long Term Care, including NHS Continuing Health Care Funding & Local Authority Funding. Liz Holdsworth lectures to lawyers and medical professionals countrywide on this subject. Every member of the Elderly Care team are members of Solicitors for the Elderly, an independent national organisation of lawyers who specialise in providing advice on legal issues specific to the Elderly.
Wace Morgan has built up considerable expertise in the area of obtaining NHS continuing health care funding for a patient's existing and future nursing care including retrospective funding claims where patients were wrongfully requested to pay nursing fees.
For more information, please download our "Who should fund long term nursing care?" guide or "Should you pay a third party top up?" guide
We can also advise on Advance Decisions (previously called Advance Directives & Living Wills).
