What We Do

Later Life planning is a vital, but often overlooked, responsibility, whether you are a private individual or a business owner. Its purpose is to strategically plan a pathway so you can enjoy the future you want, rather than leave it to chance. Ensuring your wishes are known and understood will provide you with peace of mind so you can enjoy your later years worry free. It will also provide clarity for those around you in respect of your personal and financial affairs.

We understand that every individual’s case is different, and advise in a bespoke and understanding way, always putting first your interests and those who are important to you. With a team based in Brighton and Liverpool, you can be sure our later life solicitors will treat you with care and sensitivity when dealing with your affairs.
