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.

Care home funding rules
NHS and social care assessments
Asset protection strategies
