Latimer Hinks Solicitors Support the Elderly

We have all heard, through acquaintances, the media, the press how easily the elderly can be misled or taken advantage of.

At Latimer Hinks we are aware that when it comes to sorting out your affairs solicitors are often the last on the list. Too often, people delay what they want. Sometimes it is too late and when it then falls to others to make arrangements for them.

Solicitors for the Elderly is an organisation committed to providing and promoting robust, comprehensive and independent legal advice for older and vulnerable people, their family and carers

Most of our Private Client lawyers are members of Solicitors for the Elderly . Not just any lawyer can be a member of SFE. Members must have spent a substantial amount of their time working for elderly clients and have also have to fulfil criteria for membership.

Recently, Claire Farrell and Natalie Walker became Joint Regional Co-ordinators for the North East Branch of Solicitors for the Elderly

There are various means by which the process of cheap conveyancing can be accomplished. It is usually done by a solicitor or a licensed conveyancer who can be hired or appointed by conveyancing companies that offers these services. Conveyancers can be legal lawyers and certified practitioners but a licensed person can also do this process.

But this process requires a skilful and careful conveyancer, who should take care of all the formalities and details and should take care of all the required legal papers required. These Conveyancers can be appointed online as well.
