Help! I'm a carer and I need legal advice - with elderly law expert Paige Gouldthorpe

The Care & Dementia Podcast

Hello and welcome to The Care & Dementia Podcast! I’m your host, Gemma Clay, and today we’re diving into a topic that every carer needs to think about: the legal aspects of care.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens if a loved one loses the capacity to make their own decisions, or what the consequences are if someone passes away without a valid will, you’re not alone. These are crucial questions that can make a big difference in later life planning.

To help us understand these legal issues, I’m joined by Paige Gouldthorpe, Senior Associate at Fosters Solicitors. Paige is a specialist in Court of Protection, Wills, Trusts, and Probate, with over a decade of experience helping families plan for the future.

She’ll be sharing her expert advice on essential topics like Lasting Power of Attorney, deputyships, and safeguarding the wishes of those who can no longer make decisions for themselves.
