CAN I PROTECT MY ASSETS FROM CARE HOME FEES ?
If you are thinking that by giving away assets you will avoid future care home fees then you need to stop and have a re-think.
By deliberately giving away or converting assets to put yourself in a position to receive financial help from a Local Authority so called, “deprivation of assets” the Local Authority may be entitled to disregard the gift that you have made.
With careful planning and with expert advice from our specialist team you may be able to avoid having to use your assets to pay care home fees.
How much will it cost?
Initially we will undertake a FREE consultation where we will obtain the necessary information on which to base our advice. We will also tell you how much the work will cost - on a Fixed Fee basis. These Fixed Costs will apply if you assist us to complete any necessary transactions within 3 months and do not change your instructions during this time.
It is just as important for you to know if saving care home fees is not possible and we will tell you so at the initial consultation, without cost.
Will it be confidential?
At Eastleys Solicitors all our work is confidential however there are times when the law dictates otherwise. During our FREE consultation we will inform you of any disclosures that are necessary and also answer any legal issues you may have.
Who will carry out the work?
This service is dealt with by Trust Manager, Robin Meads who is assisted by department members Catherine Hegarty and Lisa Stanton. Robin has over 40 years experience in dealing with Tax and inheritance matters and his expertise should produce a tailored package to suit your requirements.
Please note that at present we can only address clients from South West Devon as the nature of the work requires a face to face meeting.
