Wills, Trusts and Probate solicitor accredited as a full ‘gold standard' SFE (Solicitors for the Elderly member)

Andrew Guilfoyle, solicitor based in the Salisbury office has been recognised with national accreditation for his expertise in legal support for older and vulnerable clients, their families and carers.

The accreditation is awarded by SFE, the organisation setting the standards for the highest quality legal advice in specialist areas, such as wills, powers of attorney and elder abuse.

To achieve accreditation, lawyers are required to undertake assessment to demonstrate solid understanding of the specific needs and considerations required when safeguarding and protecting older clients’ interests.

Andrew Guilfoyle said:

“I am very proud to have achieved this accreditation.

It is pleasing to be a member of such a great organisation and the training I have undertaken will help me continue to provide the best possible service to clients, including those that are older or vulnerable.”

Lakshmi Turner, Chief Executive of SFE, said:

“When it comes to planning ahead for later life, getting the right advice is essential. An SFE accredited lawyer is an expert in this area of the law and understands the wider, often sensitive, issues around health, care and family that may need consideration. SFE lawyers understand the issues affecting older and vulnerable clients and follow a strict code of practice with respect and dignity at its heart.

“Ultimately, choosing an SFE lawyer means you’ll be guided through this complex and sensitive area of law and will enable you to lay solid foundations to protect you and your loved ones in later life.”
