If remaining in your own home is important to you, do not wait until a crisis arises. Early planning can help protect your independence and give your loved ones the legal authority to support your wishes.

Can a solicitor help you stay in your own home? Whilst there are no guarantees, planning ahead with Lasting Powers of Attorney and the right legal advice can help ensure your wishes are known if you need care in later life.

Learn more about planning for later life in this blog.

“Outstanding… everything was fully explained.”

That’s how one client described working with Eleanor on their Will.

✔ Clear advice
✔ Efficient process
✔ A positive experience from start to finish

✅ Book an appointment and get your plans in place the right way.

For many parents, making a Will isn't really about money.
It's about making sure your children would be cared for by the people you trust most.

A Will allows you to appoint guardians and make important decisions about your children's future.
Because protecting your family isn't just about today - it's about tomorrow too.

Moving home isn't always straightforward - but having the right support can make all the difference.

One client recently shared their experience of working with Sue and Jennifer during their property sale.

They told us they felt supported throughout, appreciated the clear explanations around timescales, and valued the regular updates they received along the way.

Most importantly, they knew they had experienced professionals guiding them through the more difficult stages of their sale.

That's exactly the reassurance we aim to provide every client.

✅ Book an appointment with our Residential Property team and let us help make your move feel more manageable.

Important advice in this post for cohabiting couples.
Talk to one of our Lifetime Lawyers for advice on your personal circumstances.

TV star Ricky Gervais has been making headlines after revealing to SAGA magazine that he would consider marrying his long-term partner of 44 years, Jane Fallon, to avoid inheritance tax.

Reflecting on their relationship, he questioned: “How more married can you be?” after decades of sharing a home, finances and a life together.

His comments shine a spotlight on an important issue: in England and Wales, living together, even for many years, does not give couples the same legal rights and protections as marriage or a civil partnership.

With the Government currently consulting on cohabitation reform, Ricky Gervais’s comments are a timely reminder that many long-term couples may not have the legal protections they expect.

Taking time to understand your position and plan ahead can help provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

However long you’ve been together, having an up-to-date will and the right legal advice can help ensure your wishes are respected and those closest to you are protected.
