Thinking of Downsizing?
When the children have left and we’re getting a bit older, the family home might not be the best place for us, even though it’s the place we’d prefer to be. Large family homes require a lot of upkeep, large gardens can easily get out of control and it will cost a lot to keep all the rooms warm. For many older people, downsizing into a smaller property makes practical sense and financial sense but getting over the emotional mountain of selling the family home can be a big challenge – even if you’re prepared to do it, don’t expect your children to be ready to see their childhood home be sold. At Grey Matters we recognise that selling your home is more than just a financial transaction and we’ve a range of services to support you so get in touch if you'd like a no obligation chat about how we can help.

Have you thought about what will happen if your parents are no longer capable of managing their own affairs?
A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that give you the authority to help them to make decisions or to make decisions on their behalf. It's a good idea to arrange an LPA while they still have the capacity to make decisions, so why not check with them to see if they have one in place? If not, call us on 033 0134 0166 and we’ll arrange for one of our Life Navigators to explain our LPA service.

Staying independent is also about getting the most out of life. Claiming Attendance Allowance helps you achieve this and more by opening up a host of opportunities once you start receiving it, such as a Disabled Person's Railcard. This gets you and the person you are travelling with up to a third off rail fares and discounts for museums, theatres, sightseeing companies, and hotels too! Make the most of life, just ask us how!

“Approximately 15% of adults aged 60 and over suffer from a mental disorder. Mental health has an impact on physical health and vice versa. For example, older adults with physical health conditions such as heart disease have higher rates of depression than those who are healthy.” (World Health Organisation, 2017)

One of the criteria for Attendance Allowance is ‘Have had an illness or disability for at least 6 months, where you require support or have difficulties and challenges in everyday life’. Straight away you might think of a physical issue such as Arthritis, Diabetes, or a Stroke. While these types of conditions can be used as evidence to claim Attendance Allowance, it is important to recognise that mental health illnesses and disabilities are just as noteworthy.

Grey Matters Consultancy acknowledge that the people we come across may be suffering mentally, as well as physically. Therefore, our Life Navigators are here to support every client through the process and use their expertise to ensure they get the best possible outcome.

If you believe that you, or someone you know, may be eligible for Attendance Allowance then please get in touch.

Having a Will saves your family unnecessary distress at an already difficult time. A Will makes it much easier for your family or friends to sort everything out when you die – without a will the process can be more time consuming and stressful. Without a Will, everything you own will be shared out in a way defined by the law – which isn’t always what you might have wanted. A will can help reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax that might be payable on the value of the property and money you leave behind. Having a Will is important if you people who are dependent on you, or if you want to leave something to people outside your immediate family.
Message us today we’ll arrange for one of our Life Navigators to explain about our Will Writing service.

Thinking of Moving?
For many the prospect of moving away from the family home is too much to contemplate. So rather than move, why not adapt your own to suit your changing needs? That grand roll-top bath was fine when we were younger but getting in and out of it as our mobility change can become a challenge and a walk-in shower is probably a better option!
We are knowledgeable on what local authorities can provide to improve access and safety around the home and can help you ensure you get the right adaptations to suit your needs.
If you want to make changes around your home, such as creating a walk-in shower, we’d be happy to share our knowledge of what’s possible and help you find a reliable contractor to undertake the work at a realistic price.
Contact us on 033 0134 016 or send us a message to get the conversation started.

Lasting Power of Attorney.
Ensure somebody you know and trust is in control to protect your home and money when you lose the capacity to do it yourself.

Arranging your own LPA while you still have the capacity to, makes sure your wishes are met if you ever find yourself unable to manage your own affairs.
Call us today on 033 0134 0166 and we’ll arrange for one of our Life Navigators to explain our LPA service.
