Planning for the Future

Our friendly and approachable team of private client specialists at Miller Sands, Ryan Hawthorn , Katharine Barkas or Faye Murphy are here to help you plan for your future.

They have an excellent reputation for providing expert advice and are always ready to listen carefully to your concerns. They will provide you with the knowledge to make informed decisions and assist you in clarifying your thoughts.

If it is not feasible for you to come to us for age or health reasons, we are always happy to visit your home.

Wills
Making a will enables you to provide properly for those you leave behind and to appoint, as your executors and as guardians for your children, the people who you believe are best qualified for the task.

Powers of Attorney
These enable you to appoint someone to look after your financial affairs during your lifetime if you become incapable (either mentally or physically) of managing them yourself.

Elderly Client Matters
We assist elderly clients with the general management of their personal and financial affairs, to include:

assisting with pension and attendance allowance entitlements
providing contracts for home carers, assisting with the move into residential care or a nursing home
advising on legal ways of mitigating care costs.
we can refer clients for professional financial advice on funding residential care costs

Those who can no longer make decisions for themselves-
We can help in cases where a person can no longer make decisions for themselves, either in certain respects only, or in their affairs generally.

This includes registering and administering Enduring Powers of Attorney made prior to 1st October 2007 and Lasting Powers of Attorney after that date. In the case of a person who has not completed an Enduring Power of Attorney and is not capable of signing a Lasting Power of Attorney we can assist with an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputy (fomerly known as a Receiver) for such a person. We can also prepare Statutory Will applications.

Living Wills
A “Living Will”, as it used to be known, is a concept which has now been included in the scope of a Lasting Power of Attorney. It could for example allow you to record what medical treatment you would, or would not wish, to receive if you become incapable of making or communicating a decision about such treatment.
