The funding of long term care is becoming increasingly complex as are other issues surrounding the care of the elderly. Advice at an early stage can remove a lot of the worry and prevent problems arising at a later date. Which is where we can help.

At Ashton KCJ, our lawyers know just how to help.

We can provide you with professional yet sympathetic advice on the issues arising including:

• The options for funding long-term care
• State contributions in relation to care services
• Preserving assets
• Estate planning
• Wills
• Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection

We often work with independent financial advisers and other professionals to put in place funding to cover the cost of long term care.

We also manage the day to day finances of many of our clients who are either unable to do so themselves or who wish for some assistance. This will usually be undertaken by one or more of our partners after they are appointed as an attorney under a Power of Attorney, or as a deputy, appointed by the Court of Protection.

We can make home visits when travelling to our offices proves difficult. Your needs come first and we aim to make things as easy as possible.
