It is hard to imagine not being able to live in your own home, and look after yourself.  Planning at the right time to make sure any care you may need in the future is covered without having to sell your home is important for some people.  We have particular expertise in the use of trusts both lifetime and created by will to protect assets from third party claims including payment for nursing homes.

We can also advise on whether you or your family are funding nursing home fees when the obligation is actually on the NHS.  We can advise you on the eligibility criteria following on from the leading cases of Coughlan and Grogan.  In some circumstances it is possible to recover fees even after the person has died.
