You may have seen headlines suggesting that sweeping changes arrived in August. The reality is a little more nuanced.

Some changes have taken effect, while others remain consultations, proposals or Bills making their way through Parliament. So, what has actually changed, and what might change in the future?

In our latest blog, Angie Brown cuts through the noise and explains:

- What has already changed
- Which reforms are still being considered
- What this could mean for divorce, finances, cohabitation and children
- What separating couples and parents need to know now

When decisions affect your family, home or finances, it is important to understand the difference between a headline and the law.

More lovely feedback from a very happy client in our Conveyancing department, this time for Minhal Qayyum! 👏

"We had a fantastic experience with the solicitors who handled both the purchase and sale of our property. The whole process was handled professionally and efficiently, and the team were always helpful, responsive and reassuring whenever we had questions. A special mention to Minhal, who was absolutely brilliant throughout. Minhal was extremely professional, approachable and kept us updated at every stage. They went above and beyond to make what can be a stressful process feel as smooth and straightforward as possible. We really appreciated the hard work, attention to detail and commitment from the whole team. We would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for solicitors for a property purchase or sale. Thank you to the entire team, and especially Minhal, for all your help!"

Well done Minhal!

Last month we settled one of our largest retrospective NHS Continuing Healthcare funding claims to date, recovering over £160,000 in compensation after our client's aunt was found to have been eligible for funding for two and a half years, despite selling her assets and using up her savings to pay privately for her care.

This is a story that we see all too often. Vulnerable people not being properly informed about this funding package, not being properly assessed, being refused funding despite meeting the criteria, and ultimately having to drain their estate to be able to afford their care.

Thankfully, in this case, we were on our client's side to argue that actually, Joan was eligible for funding and should have had the cost of her care covered by the NHS.

Phil Turner, Emerald Law's NHS CHC specialist, reviewed countless medical, social, and care home records to build the case that ultimately secured this life-changing settlement for Joan's family, restoring the inheritance that Joan had worked so hard to build, but was ultimately drained by care home fees.

If your loved one is paying privately for their care but living with significant, complex care needs, they may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding.

We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to anyone who believes their loves one could be eligible. Call 0151 229 1170 or make an enquiry below, and we'll be in touch to arrange your free consultation.

Our brilliant Phil Turner will be featured on BBC Radio Wiltshire & BBC Radio Gloucestershire today at 4.45pm talking all about our recent case where we recovered £160,000 in care home fees for a family based in Wiltshire.

We’re very proud to see the BBC covering a significant result secured by our specialist Care Fees Recovery team.

We recovered more than £160,000 in care home fees on behalf of a family whose much-loved aunt had lived with Alzheimer’s disease and other complex needs.

Over several years, her savings, and eventually a substantial proportion of the equity in her home, were used to meet the cost of her care. Following a detailed retrospective claim, it was accepted that she should have received NHS Continuing Healthcare funding during the relevant period.

This case is an important reminder that care home fees are not always the responsibility of the individual or their family. Where someone’s needs amount to a primary health need, the NHS may be responsible for funding their care, regardless of their income, savings or property.

We hope the BBC’s coverage will help more families become aware of NHS Continuing Healthcare and question whether care fees have been paid unnecessarily.

The care home fees had put the family into debt and forced the sale of the woman's home.

Housing disrepair can be incredibly disruptive & destructive, which is why it's so important that you have someone who really cares and is on your side helping to resolve the issues.

Settlement and repairs both secured for this client, which means they can go back to living in a safe, comfortable home, as they should have been all along.

Well done Seanan! 💚
