Margaret had recently read that you can protect your estate from the impact of care home costs and so purchased our Will writing service online for both herself and her husband David with the primary goal of protecting their estates from care for the ultimate benefit of their children. Her concerns were brought about as her mother had passed away after a long spell in care which was funded by the sale of her late mother and father's family home. Further, she was unable to make any decisions on her mother's behalf including end-of-life treatment as whilst her mother did have Lasting Power of Attorney documents in place, they had unfortunately been drawn up incorrectly and so could not be used.
At Pattison James Associates, we specialise in protecting our clients' assets against the threat of care costs for both married, single and widowed clients and have a number of different solutions to mitigate against the threat of losing assets to care as well as ensuring that in the event of losing capacity, loved ones have the legal authority to continue to make all the appropriate decisions. After a thorough discussion, Margaret and David both agreed with our advice and instructed us to draft Wills that protected their assets via Will-based trusts, have Lasting Power of Attorney documents drawn up and removed the burden from their children of funeral costs and arrangements they purchased prepaid funeral plans and now have complete peace of mind that all their affairs are in order. Book your Will writing appointment online now and allow us to fully advise you on the most appropriate way to achieve your wishes.
