Raleys Solicitors Give Advice at Information Day
by admin on Mar.08, 2010, under Uncategorized
At Raleys Solicitors we understand that sometimes the law can seem a little bit confusing and that making big legal decisions about the future can be daunting. We also understand that walking into a solicitors’ office can be scary and that many people fear their solicitor will baffle them with long, complicated monologues about the law and its intricacies. This is why we make ongoing efforts to make our legal advice as accessible as possible to everyone.
A recent example of our commitment to making law comprehensible for everyone was our Property, Wills and Probate Advice Day at Barnsley Age Concern Day Centre on February 15th.
The event was headed by Raleys’ Angela Gavin, who is head of Property, Wills and Probate department here. People of all ages were invited to attend to receive legal advice relating to all aspects of this area of law, including writing wills, protecting assets and granting somebody lasting power of attorney.
The reason Raleys hold such events is that we understand that having to think about a time in the future when a person will no longer be able to manage their own legal affairs can be incredibly distressing, so we know that it is important to plan properly for such a time so that difficulties and problems can be avoided in the future.
Angela has previously given advice to pensioners at the National Pensioners Forum in Barnsley and also offered advice to staff at a local hospice. As part of our ongoing commitment to our clients and to making law more accessible we will be holding similar events in the future, so look back soon to find out more.
