Help for law firms

In the area of elderly client law, there will often be a need to draw upon relevant resources and skills to ensure that your client gets complete advice from those best qualified to give it. Certainly in respect of methods of paying for care, issues around deprivation of assets and interpretation of local authority charging procedures, a collaborative approach with a financial adviser should enhance the overall service and quality of advice given.

But how do you know which financial advisers are experts with the necessary experience in this field? How can you trust the level of service that you or your clients will be given? Will a consistent approach be used in every case?

If these are concerns for you, then the Eldercare Funding Programme™ will be of interest. We developed the Eldercare Funding Programme™ to make certain that every client receives the same high standard of service and that nothing is ever forgotten and no stone is left unturned.

Regulation

Advice on paying for long-term care has been regulated under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 since the end of October 2004. If you give advice about funding for care without being authorised to do so this will be a breach of the Act. However, ignoring the issues around long-term care funding could expose you to a claim for negligence by omission.

It is always the right course of action to refer your client to a financial adviser specialising in care advice.
