CARERS DIRECTORY
If a situation arises which has a legal aspect to it and you are not sure
whether to go to a solicitor, you can go to the Citizens Advice Bureau,
who will be able to either help you directly or point you in the right
direction.
You may be the relative or friend of someone who is unable to collect
their benefits or visit the bank or post office, or you may need to take over
the management of someone's financial matters if they have become too confused
to manage their property and affairs.
For information about the different arrangements possible see, Citizens
Advice Bureau, MENCAP, Alzheimer's Care, Age Concern or
Help the Aged Fact sheets.
NB: It is advisable to seek
legal advice before signing any documents.
