TWO solicitors at a Huddersfield law firm have been accepted as members of the national association Solicitors for the Elderly.

Sue Cash (above, right), head of the private client team at Ridley & Hall, and Jill Waddington (also pictured, solicitor in the firm’s private client team, have joined SFE, which is an association of lawyers specialising in legal services for older people and their carers.

Members of SFE have a wealth of experience within this legal area and they are required to have spent a substantial amount of time working for elderly clients.

The aim of this national association is to improve the knowledge and service provided on legal issues including tax planning, wills, powers of attorney, long-term social and health care and other retirement issues.

Ridley & Hall is the only practice in Huddersfield with two SFE members.

Said Sue: “I have been specialising in legal services for the elderly for 15 years, and I am looking forward to continuing my development in this area so that I am able to give my clients and colleagues first class legal advice in a field of law which is constantly evolving, as the requirements of the elderly population change.”
