At De Rossi Griffiths we have a simple vision.
We want to utilise the law for a tax-efficient Estate, free from the burden of intrusive Care Home Fees and unnecessary death taxes through proper planning and preparation through Wills and Trusts.
We also successfully challenge NHS Continuing Healthcare assessments to ensure the residential care is not privately funded when it should not be. We assess the case and only take on the challenge if we believe there is a prospect of success.
Family is close to our heart, which is why we offer a discounted introduction to Estate planning for young families to ensure your family are aware of your wishes.
We provide expert Estate management services through the use of Wills, Trusts and Lasting Powers of Attorney. In addition, we specialise in Care Home Fee Protection as well as Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Funding to help our Clients achieve a tax-efficient Estate.
