Later Living Helpline is a UK-based service that helps individuals and families navigate later-life decisions, particularly care costs and estate planning. Its mission is shaped by founder Ted Williams’ personal experience and a belief that people of all backgrounds should have access to useful information to protect their homes and legacies. The organisation connects people with UK estate-planning professionals who provide an initial consultation free of charge and without obligation; any further work may be charged for by the professional.

The helpline offers guidance on wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, probate, care costs and split tenancies. Its services include educational workshops, personal consultations with its team, and an online resource hub featuring articles, guides and frequently asked questions. Through these resources and referrals, Later Living Helpline aims to make complex topics easier to understand and help families find professionals with relevant experience. It also provides a community-minded source of support for people seeking to make informed choices about their future and estate.
