How You Can
Access Help
To access our services, clients and/or their families should be referred to LegaCare through health and social care professionals, for example hospital consultants, nurses, social workers or GP's. This is because we are a small charity and wouldn't want to let anybody down.
1.
You must live in the North East of England.
2.
You must be referred to us by a healthcare professional.
3.
You must earn under £30,000 per year.
4.
You must need help with private client law such as Wills, LPA's.
For every patient referred, we have a first consultation to discuss your legal needs and how our charity can help you. All of our legal advice and services are free if you earn less than £30,000 per year or have savings of less than £8,000. If you do not qualify for free legal care, we would still like to help you with your legal affairs so we ask that you make a donation to our charity in return for our legal help.

Whilst it is our intention to assist as many patients as possible, we are a very small team with limited resources and therefore we may not always be in a position to assist. No NHS Healthcare Foundation Trusts, Hospice or Healthcare accepts liability for the advice of LegaCare (UK) Ltd, its staff, agents, or representatives.
