Legal advice for Deferred Payment Agreements
When it comes to funding long-term care, Deferred Payment Agreements (DPAs) can be a practical solution for many families.

While DPAs can be helpful, they come with complexities that families need to understand before making a commitment. Here, Hilary Cragg, Solicitor and Partner at Nash & Co Solicitors, shares expert advice on avoiding common pitfalls with DPAs and provides guidance to help families make informed decisions.
