Forever Legal

Forever Legal, legal advice with a home visiting service across England and Wales

Forever Legal is a law firm based in Altrincham, Cheshire, that presents itself as a firm focused on personal client care. Its work is built around a team of home visiting solicitors who travel to clients' homes across England and Wales, so that matters can be completed without the person having to visit an office. The firm states that it covers the whole of England and Wales.

The company describes itself as a firm that "really cares" about its staff and its clients, and says it has invested in technology and infrastructure to make case handling faster and more accurate. Its internal philosophy is summed up in the concept of the "HUG", which the firm presents as the cornerstone of its corporate culture.

Areas of practice

The firm concentrates its offering on legal services relating to property and to estate and succession planning:

• Equity release: advice for clients over 55 interested in releasing capital from their home, with support throughout the process and a dedicated case manager.
• Wills & LPAs: drafting or updating wills and lasting powers of attorney to protect the client and their family.
• Conveyancing: handling purchases, sales and remortgages of property, including cases linked to buy-to-let portfolios or bridging finance.
• Probate: applying for a grant of probate and administering the estates of deceased persons.
• Bridging finance: specialist legal services for transactions using this type of finance.
• Funeral planning: the website's list of services includes this area, although its content is not detailed.

Equity release: specialisation and partnerships

The firm presents itself as a specialist in legal advice for clients taking out an equity release plan. According to its own description, it is a member of the Equity Release Council and works with the main UK providers, including Aviva and Legal & General. The process is supported by a dedicated case manager who keeps the client informed and aims to ensure the case completes efficiently.

How it works

Forever Legal insists on a face-to-face service at the client's home: legal advisers travel to the client, fill in the forms with them and handle the more complex tasks. The firm sums up its approach in five points: coming to the client, guiding them through the whole process, completing the paperwork with them, keeping them informed and, above all, caring for the relationship. In its presentation it states that no other firm offers the same kind of personal service, an assessment that comes from the company itself.
