With changes in residential property legislation afoot and a growing awareness of the need to have a Power of Attorney, leading law firm Thorntons is aiming to shed light on these topics with free information sessions across the country.

Thorntons is hosting eleven seminars over the coming weeks across its office locations in Angus, Fife, Perth and Dundee. The one hour sessions aim to update local communities on the latest developments in care home costs and the Residential Nil Rate for Inheritance Tax.

Thorntons has launched its yearly campaign to highlight the importance of having an up-to-date will whilst raising thousands of pounds for a children's charity.
During the whole of September, we will create or update wills for people in return for a donation to Radio Tay listeners' charity Cash for Kids.

The charity supports hundreds of children across Dundee, Angus, Perthshire and North Fife by helping to buy specialist equipment for children with physical disabilities.
