Legal Support
Legal Support
Many of us, at some point, will need legal advice. Whether it’s about buying or selling a house, employment law, medical / clinical negligence, Deputyships, Wills, family or relationships, it’s important that the advice sought is from a reputable organisation. Making a start on choosing who to contact can be overwhelming. We want to make that easier.
Our Legal Panel was launched in August 2023, and with the aim of signposting to organisations to help families make informed decisions if looking for advice.
Last year we renamed our panel “Legal Support” (to make it clearer as to what it is), and increased the number of organisations to 8. All organisations have gone through the Peeps’ due diligence process and offer a free, completely confidential, initial consultation. Whilst they are not the only organisations able to offer advice, they may be a starting point for you.
We also have a closed Facebook group where legal matters can be discussed in a safe environment with peers. Please get in touch if you would like more information.
