We're here for the moments that matter most.
Because everyone deserves peace of mind.​
When someone receives a terminal diagnosis, the last thing they should have to worry about is legal paperwork. At LegaCare, we make sure they don't have to.
​
We're a North East charity providing free, specialist legal support to critically ill patients and their families — from writing wills and setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney, to sorting debt, trusts, and advance care planning.
