Older or Vulnerable Client Services
Furley Page recognises that the older or vulnerable client’s needs are specific and that the law relating to issues concerning these clients is complicated and daunting. The anxiety caused by the unknown is a common problem and one which our specialist Older or Vulnerable Client team is happy to assist with.
We will talk you through things step by step making certain that you fully understand the advice being given. It is very important that you have enough time to make a considered decision about your affairs and do not feel pressured into a decision that you are not completely happy with.
We make sure one point of contact is arranged to handle all affairs; this reduces confusion and stress. We aim to bring peace of mind by giving practical advice on everyday issues, as well as planning ahead for the future. The majority of our specialist team are members of Solicitors for the Elderly and Nicola Rostron, Partner, has recently been appointed an Approved Panel Deputy to the Court of Protection by the Office of the Public Guardian.
