What to tell us
A paragraph is enough to start: who the person is (a parent, spouse, adult child), roughly what they can and can't decide at the moment, what has prompted the question (a diagnosis, a property sale, a bank refusal, a hospital meeting), and whether the family is broadly agreed. We'll reply with which arrangement or application fits, what it involves, and a fixed quote in writing before any work starts.
A hospital or nursing home is waiting on you?
Say so when you call. Discharge meetings and Fair Deal deadlines are a normal part of this practice, and there is usually a lawful interim path while the fuller application is prepared.
How our fees work
You get a fixed quote in writing before any work starts — no hourly-rate surprises. If the scope changes, the quote is revised in writing before we continue. In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement. How costs work in capacity matters →
