Solicitors for the Elderly
Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) is a national organisation of lawyers, such as solicitors, barristers, and legal executives who are committed to providing and promoting robust, comprehensive and independent legal advice for older people, their family and carers.
The key objectives are:
- To develop expertise in areas of public and private law relevant to our clients' needs and where there is at present a skills shortage. These include:
- Consent, capacity and substituted decision-making
- Financial planning, including retirement and long-term care
- Housing and social and health care issues
- Dealing with abuse
- To continue to exercise the expertise which members of this group will have in the more traditional legal services which older people require, e.g. Wills, Probate & Trusts, Court of Protection, Powers of Attorney, property matters and litigation
- To promote best practice by means of high quality training and the dissemination of information and know-how
- To facilitate networking and the building of constructive relationships with statutory and voluntary agencies, charities, housing and social care providers, the financial services sector and other interested organisations or individuals
- To input into legislative and policy change.
