When someone is no longer able to make decisions for themselves, understanding what steps to take can feel overwhelming for families.

The Court of Protection is there to support individuals who lack mental capacity, ensuring that decisions made on their behalf are in their best interests. This may involve appointing a deputy to manage financial affairs or make important decisions about care.

At Ellen Fay Solicitors, we provide clear, compassionate guidance to help you understand the process and feel supported at every stage.

From the hustle and bustle of Preston, to the fells, lakes and big skies of the Lake District... Last weekend, we swapped the city for the great outdoors to take on the Macmillan Cancer Support Mighty Hike!

And we're thrilled to say we've raised over £2,500 for the charity!

We'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who's already sponsored us - you're making a huge difference to people affected by cancer, up and down the country.

Don't worry if you've not gotten around to sponsoring us yet, there's still time: https://mightyhikesfundraising.macmillan.org.uk/teams/ellen-fay-solicitors

Inheritance tax is something many people are aware of, but fewer understand how it may affect their estate.

In simple terms, inheritance tax may apply depending on the value of your estate and how it is structured.

This means it is important to understand what you own, who you would like to benefit, and whether any planning steps could help reduce the impact.

Planning ahead allows you to make informed decisions, helping ensure more of your estate is passed on in line with your wishes while also providing clarity for your family.

At Ellen Fay Solicitors, we provide clear, practical guidance to help you understand your position and explore your options.

Estate planning is about more than putting a Will in place. It is about making sure your affairs are organised in a way that reflects your wishes both now and in the future.

This can include considering how your assets are structured, whether inheritance tax may apply, and how best to protect your estate for the people you care about. It may also involve planning for later life and ensuring the right arrangements are in place if circumstances change.

Taking a broader view allows you to plan with clarity and confidence, rather than leaving important decisions to be made later.

At Ellen Fay Solicitors, we provide clear, tailored advice to help you understand your options and put the right plans in place.

Care planning is something many people understandably delay, but the timing of when you seek advice can make a real difference.

Looking at your options early allows you to understand how care may be funded, what arrangements might be available, and how your assets could be affected. It also gives you more choice and control when making decisions.

Planning ahead can help reduce uncertainty, avoid rushed decisions, and provide reassurance for both you and your family.

At Ellen Fay Solicitors, we provide clear, practical guidance to help you understand your position and plan with confidence.

A Trust is not just about protecting assets; it is also about how and when those assets are used.

For some families, a Trust can help ensure money is managed carefully, passed on at the right time, or used in a way that supports a loved one’s needs. This can be particularly important where there are younger beneficiaries or more complex family circumstances.

Understanding how a Trust works can help you feel more confident about how your assets will be handled in the future.

At Ellen Fay Solicitors, we provide clear, practical guidance to help you decide whether a Trust could support your plans.
