Chenery Maher Solicitors can provide the legal infrastructure to help plan for retirement and beyond, establishing agreed procedures for consent and decision-making powers to be transferred in the event of illness or declining mental capacity.  They can also increase consideration of inheritance tax and other relevant tax issues, providing expert specialist advice to help mitigate long term care expenses including NHS funded support.

To ensure a financially secure retirement it is important to start planning for the future early.  Anyone in their 40’s is advised to address planning their own future, as well as that of their parents and the long term financial security of their own children.  Chenery Maher can help to outline the financial options and provide the legal infrastructure for long term planning.
