Cripps Harries Hall

The elderly and the vulnerable

Specialist services for all situations involving someone making decisions for another person, whether as court appointed deputy or attorney. Or you may be perfectly capable of managing your affairs but would just like a helping hand.

What we do

As well as reviewing and updating legal documents, we give practical and friendly advice.  For example, we can help with managing your finances including budgeting, completing your tax return, organising property repair, arranging a sale of property or a move into assisted living or into residential care. 

We deal with all types of application to the Court of Protection, including preparation and registration of powers of attorney, applying to be appointed as deputy or asking the Court to make a Will for an incapacitated person.  If you are a deputy or an attorney, we can advise you too.

Why Cripps Harries Hall?

You will have a team of people experienced in all aspects of helping the elderly and vulnerable, with a single person to co-ordinate your work and provide a friendly focus.  Our team includes acknowledged experts, with Chartered Tax Advisers, members of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners, a court appointed deputy as well as solicitors and paralegals.

+ Private Lives issue 13 - Autumn/Winter 2009
The first hints of winter frosts are felt in Tunbridge Wells as this edition of Private Lives goes to print. Summer in Devon seems distant a memory now: at Paignton Zoo the keepers are busy with animals indoors and at Salcombe Dairy the ice cream delivery bicycle is garaged until the spring. Increasing unemployment affects clients at all levels and Roger Byard, back from his sabbatical, is giving strategic advice although there is a sense the worst may be behind us.

+ Private Lives issue 12 - Spring 2009
These are difficult times for everyone. The news is full of stories of redundancies, restructurings and businesses collapsing. But it doesn't all have to be negative; in every downturn there is an upside that can work to your advantage. In this issue, we take a look at some of the opportunities available. If you are a leaseholder, this is an excellent time to make an offer for the purchase of the freehold. Freehold values are calculated based on the value of the property;so if the property has dropped in value, so will the price of the freehold.
