Funding Your Care

For a no-obligation discussion to see how we can help, contact the legal team at Stone King on 01225 326722 or by email admin@stoneking.co.uk.  For independent financial advice contact Fidelius Ltd on 01225 334 000 or using our website www.fidelius.co.uk/contact-us/. If you decide you would like us to provide formal advice, all our fees are clearly explained at outset and there is no obligation to take up any of our advice.

You will have direct access to a dedicated solicitor or independent financial adviser who will look after you throughout. Our advice is usually quick and easy to put in place.

Fidelius will introduce you to one of its specialist independent financial advisers who can guide you quickly and easily through the different options for funding your care.

We can advise you on your rights to any state financial support that you may be eligible for.

If you have to pay for all or part of your care, our expert advisers will help you review the options available.

Depending on your circumstances you may already have income to cover some or all of your care costs.  But this may not be the only or the best way of securing your care and there may be other options from which we can help you choose:

• Use Cash
• Investments
• Releasing equity from your home
• Purchasing an annuity with enhanced rates

Stone King has a team of specialist later life solicitors who can -

• Set up powers of attorney, where you can nominate your trusted friends or family to act as your voice for financial or welfare decisions if you find yourself unable to make these decisions on your own
• Help you write a will or check that your existing will reflects your current wishes and that your affairs are managed in the most cost and tax efficient way
• If your closest relatives do not live nearby, we can help to manage your financial and welfare decisions on your behalf
• Ask the court of protection to step in on your behalf in the event of a crisis if there is no one else to help make financial and legal decisions for you
• Sort out the legal arrangements for an equity release loan

We are two professional firms; Fidelius Ltd, independent financial advisers, and Stone King, solicitors. Both firms have a strong reputation, as later life experts and for the quality of services provided to people wishing to make decisions about their long-term care.

Advice is given by Stone King solicitors who are members of the Solicitors for the Elderly, and advisers from Fidelius Ltd who are accredited by the Society of Later Life Advisers. Both memberships illustrate our respective quality and expertise.

By working together, we can offer a more complete picture of the options available to you than you will find anywhere else.
