Lifetime Planning & Future Protection

Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take yet many people delay until it's too late. At Willett & Co Solicitors, we help individuals and families plan ahead with expert legal advice on matters like Lasting Powers of Attorney, long-term care, tax planning, and asset protection.

Whether you're looking to safeguard your health and finances or protect your loved ones' inheritance, our tailored solutions offer reassurance and peace of mind.


🔐 Our Lifetime Planning Services Include:

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs)

An LPA allows you to appoint a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf if you're unable to do so. We help you put LPAs in place for:

  • Property and financial affairs

  • Health and welfare decisions

If a loved one has already lost mental capacity without making an LPA, we can guide you through the Court of Protection deputyship process.


Long Term Care Planning

Care funding is complex, but with early planning, you can protect your home and finances. We advise on:

  • Care home funding rules

  • NHS and social care assessments

  • Asset protection strategies


Elderly Client Legal Services

Our caring, practical support includes:

  • Advice on home care arrangements

  • Liaising with nursing homes and authorities

  • Advice on Social Services financial assessments

  • Home visits available by arrangement


Living Wills / Advance Decisions

Set out your wishes in advance:

  • Advance Statements – care preferences, personal values

  • Advance Decisions – refusal of specific medical treatments

We ensure your instructions are clearly drafted and legally binding.


Inheritance Tax Planning

We advise on strategies to minimise tax liabilities, including:

  • Lifetime gifts and exemptions

  • Nil-rate band planning

  • Trust-based planning (where appropriate)


Trusts

Trusts can help manage and preserve family wealth. We explain:

  • The types of trusts suitable for your goals

  • Tax implications and legal responsibilities

  • How to set up and administer a trust with confidence


Guardianship

Appointing legal guardians ensures your children are cared for by someone you trust. This is usually arranged when making a Will. We can guide you through this important decision.
