How much will it cost?
Despite scare-mongering from other institutions, lawyer’s fees are often far less than those payable to other organisations who hold themselves out as experts in this field.
I have already made an Enduring Power of Attorney so I don’t need to make a Lasting Power of Attorney do I?
The Enduring Power of Attorney cannot delegate power to make welfare decisions and may not be sufficient to enable your Attorney to deal with your property so it is important to have it reviewed.
If I give my house to my children and survive for 7 years can it be included in my assessment for care home fees?
The 7 year rule relates to gifts being made to avoid Inheritance tax and not care home fees. This is a complex area where you should take legal advice.
