Elderly client services
Coodes have a dedicated professional team of lawyers who specialise
in meeting the needs of the older client, their families and carers.
The legal issues which affect older people and their families and carers are
becoming more and more complex. Moreover, it is extremely important to
seek specialist legal advice sooner rather than later.
Choosing the right solicitor to help you plan for the future is critical. Our team
can advise on all issues affecting the elderly, and provide clients with clear and
reliable advice in an empathic and professional way. We will take into account
any difficulties both mental and physical, which can accompany the ageing
process.
From a simple case of assisting an older client moving into a smaller property,
to arranging a Power of Attorney for someone to take over responsibility for
the affairs of a loved one, we have the expertise to guide you along the best
course of action.
Our services include:
- Lasting Powers of Attorney
- Court of protection applications
- Wills
- Advance decisions/advance statements

- Coodes When I’m gone (Guide to Pre Bereavement)
- Mental health law
- NHS Funded Care
