People in the UK are living longer than ever before, and older people make up an increasing proportion of the population.

It is estimated that by 2030 one in five of us will be aged 65 or over. The Elderly Client Handbook provides a range of information and guidance to help lawyers find solutions to the various legal and practical issues that arise when acting for older clients, their appointed attorney and deputies.

Reflecting the need of lawyers in this area to maintain an impressive generalist legal knowledge and keen problem-solving skills, this book brings together an array of leading experts to present a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the relevant law and practice.

This new edition has practical advice on the following recent developments:

  • the new SRA Standard and Regulations
  • updated Law Society Practice Notes
  • GDPR implications for clients, deputies and attorneys
  • Office of the Public Guardian Practice Notes including new guidance on gifts
  • NHS changes affecting provision of healthcare to older people
  • review of mental health legislation
  • liberty protection safeguards in the Mental Capacity (Amendment) Act 2019, and
  • all significant new case law
The Elderly Client Handbook will continue to be the essential source of practical advice and guidance for new and experienced practitioners.
