It might be Free Will Month, but following the , Martin Lewis' show yesterday evening, we’ve been inundated with Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) enquiries today…
Mr Lewis warned that failing to arrange an LPA could create serious difficulties for families if something unexpected occurs.He described the consequences of not having a Power of Attorney in place as “frankly a nightmare” for loved ones left trying to manage affairs during a medical emergency.
Echoing his stark warning, our Head of Wills & Probabte Nicola Birchall said: "It’s important to remember that age is not the key factor here, as if someone loses mental capacity following an accident, severe stroke or other medical incident, without having completed a Power of Attorney, relatives can face long and complex legal processes. So yes, putting an LPA in place at any age, is just as important as making a Will.”
"It’s so easy to put off these arrangements but you must have the capacity to do so when you appoint your attorney or attorneys, so it’s something everyone needs to prioritise."

With that in mind, we will be running our own LPA month throughout April, with 10% discount on all new instructions.
Please contact: [email protected] or call 0151 239 1000 to make an appointment*
*Home, hospital, nursing or care home visits can be arranged by request.

Fabulous afternoon at Oxton Cricket Club today for an afternoon tea party with Age Uk Wirral supported by Omaze and a special guest appearance, although slightly disappointed she didn’t land in her helicopter 😂 Thank you for inviting me along.

We were delighted to welcome Helen Soutar from Cancer Research UK to our head office yesterday.

Helen attended to present us with a certificate acknowledging that we have secured over £1,000,000 worth of pledged legacies for Cancer Research UK, through the Free Will Service.

Such legacies are vital to fund the pioneering research undertaken by their experts and we are certainly very proud to support Cancer Research UK.

The Government has implemented changes to Legal Aid provision in respect individuals applying for Special Guardianship Orders.

Hopefully, this will increase access to vital legal advice and representation for grandparents across the country, who find themselves caring for their grandchildren and who wish to formalise arrangements under a Special Guardianship Order.

If you are considering applying for a Special Guardianship Order, or are a respondent to an application for one, please contact us on 0151 239 1000 and a member of our team will be happy to assess your eligibility for legal aid under the new criteria. For more info click here >>

The Government has implemented changes to legal aid provision in respect individuals applying for Special Guardianship Orders. Prospective guardians considering applying to the court for Special Guardianship Orders will now be able to access legal aid, subject to eligibility.

We feel extremely privileged to have this memorial garden, opened by Princess Anne just two weeks ago, a stone’s throw from our offices in the beautiful grounds of Our Lady & St Nicholas Church. Many of us pass it on our way in to work each day.

It’s a Garden of Reflection to commemorate the 65,000 servicemen who were killed in the Battle of the Atlantic during WWII, which came to a close just over 78 years ago, after almost 6 years. Liverpool played a pivotal role in the Battle of the Atlantic as it was where the Western Approaches Command Centre was based from 1942.

Today, you can visit the command centre, just up the road from us and see where Commanders, WRNS and WAAF personnel worked day and night in the Operations Room, the nerve centre of the Battle of the Atlantic. For more info click https://liverpoolwarmuseum.co.uk/

Last week the team at Canter Levin & Berg hosted a ‘Kitchen Table Day’ in aid of Maggie's Wirral supporting Merseyside & Cheshire Cancer Care, with each team member bringing an item from their own kitchen in.

The money raised for Maggie’s makes a huge difference to people living with cancer and their families.

£40 means someone with cancer can spend an hour with a Benefits Advisor to help then get financial support.

£100 covers the cost of a ‘Getting Started’ session, helping someone with cancer learn to manage their diagnosis and treatment.

£180 means a family can get ongoing support from a Psychologist, helping them after losing someone with cancer.

You can find more information about this wonderful charity at https://www.maggies.org/
