FIRETHORN1   58 #1 Posted July 1, 2021 Can anyone help me with the names/contact numbers for any soliciitors in Sheffield who are willing to visit elderly/disabled clients in their own homes? My mum wants to write a will and to assign power of attorney to us, as her middle-aged "children". She's in her 80's and still fully in charge of all her mental capacities. However, she is severely physically disabled and is totally housebound - meaning that she can't get out to attend appointments. She is stone-deaf - meaning that she can't sort stuff out over the phone - and she doesn't have a computer or a smartphone - so she hasn't got the equipment or the skills to do anything online. We really need a solicitor to visit her at home to set up the whole process and manage the paperwork. I've contacted about half a dozen Sheffield solicitors firms today - none of whom are able or willing to visit an old woman at home. Any help or advice about this would be much appreciated.

FIRETHORN1   58 #3 Posted July 1, 2021 Thanks andyofborg. I don't think her affairs are particularly complex, but along with my mum, my brothers and I - all in our 60's and living miles away from our old mum - are not very good, very competent or very confident at using computers or doing stuff online. We really need a good solicitor who could visit her and sort this out face-to-face, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Baron99   794 #4 Posted July 1, 2021 Try Taylor & Emmet Solicitors on Arundel Gate. One of our relatives has used their services in the past month & one of their solicitors did a home visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HeHasRisen   3,399 #8 Posted July 3, 2021 Its all well and good saying Solicitor X was great etc...unless it since March 2020 it may be irrelevant, I would wager a lot of solicitors who would have done a home visit now wont bother.
