Our clients approached us with a straightforward question: “Can you help with equity release?” While Darby & Darby does not provide financial advice, we were able to refer them to trusted, independent financial advisers to explore suitable equity release options.
What began as a single conversation about releasing funds soon developed into a broader discussion about the wider legal and practical implications of equity release. As is often the case, releasing equity from a property can affect other key areas, including Wills, Powers of Attorney, and how assets are owned.
We worked collaboratively across departments to provide joined-up support. This included updating our clients’ Wills, reviewing Powers of Attorney, and restructuring the ownership of assets to ensure that their long-term wishes were protected. Our in-house expertise, alongside our strong relationships with external professionals such as financial advisers and accountants, meant we were able to offer a clear, integrated approach.
This allowed our clients to focus on their personal goals for later life – confident that the legal structure supporting their decision was sound, future-proofed, and aligned with their estate planning objectives.
