As a society, we are living longer, and the challenge we all face is to ensure our finances and affairs are well managed to ensure comfort and peace of mind throughout our lives.
In addition to ensuring a secure future income, there are a number of other financial challenges to plan for, such as: meeting the costs of on-going care; protecting assets that will become the inheritance for our families; and appointing a family member to manage affairs should we no longer be able to do so ourselves.
Our team holds a number of specialist qualifications in this field, including Membership of both The Society of Later Life Advisers and The Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners. These are over and above those which our Regulator, The Financial Conduct Authority, requires financial advisers to hold in order to give a fully comprehensive and holistic range of advice to clients in later life.
Financial advice to clients in later life generally involves achieving a balance between two objectives:
It is often thought that these two objectives are mutually exclusive, or that one has to be prioritised at the expense of the other. This is not the case. Specialist knowledge, experience and careful planning can help you achieve both – or at least an appropriate and acceptable balance between the two.
This area often requires a particularly sensitive approach to ensure that the needs and rights of elderly individuals who may not have full capacity are fully understood by all parties and respected. We will always explain your options in plain English and we pride ourselves on the sensitive and personal approach that we bring to later-life wealth management.
Where appropriate we also have a wide range of connections with skilled specialists who can provide vital support – for instance, in ensuring that all available state benefits and, where eligibility exists, state financial assistance for care costs is claimed.

A huge thank you to Miriam for the brilliant service she gave us. She went above and beyond to deal with everything. I will recommend her to anyone who needs probate and trust assistance.
I instructed Anthony Fripp at WBW Solicitors to act on my behalf for my first house purchase. Anthony and his assistant Lucy Davis were super efficient, easily contactable at all times and remained highly professional throughout. I was kept updated weekly and the purchase completed within 6 weeks even during these uncertain times.
I would recommend Anthony and Lucy to anyone and I will continue to use WBW in the future.
Kathryn Boyes was friendly, efficient and professional. She dealt with our requests quickly, communicating effectively with expert understanding and knowledge and at times with wonderful patience and a great sense of humour. She always responded so quickly and was reassuring and calm throughout. I can’t say enough how much we value the service she gave us. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
I would be flattered to be instructed by you again. It is good to work with a Solicitor who shows such initiative.
Tracey Granger and her assistant were very helpful and friendly. Any questions we had were answered by Joanne on the phone or Tracey by letter and email. The information clarified what we wanted to do and kept us updated on the costs. Both of them were professional but relaxed and the meetings went well.
Catherine Grinter went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend her! Excellent Service.
Sam and Lara were both very helpful, friendly and efficient. I would just like to pass on my thanks to them both for all their help. I will be using you again in the future.
Lucy is friendly, professional, helpful, quick to respond to queries and kept me fully up to date with proceedings when selling my property. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future and would recommend her to friends and family.
I have been very impressed with the service we have received and will/would recommend you without reservation in the future.
