As Power of Attorney Solicitors, we help our clients plan in the event of losing capacity. Also, helping family members & friends apply to the Court of Protection if it is too late.

A mental health condition, illness or sudden accident could result in individuals losing the mental capacity to make their own decisions. For instance, decisions about their finances or wellbeing. While you have capacity, you can put in place a legal document (Lasting Powers of Attorney) appointing individuals as your attorney(s) to help you make decisions. Additionally, if you have already lost capacity, we can support your family & friends apply to the Court of Protection for a  Deputyship appointment.

We are here to help you through this process at a time when you (or your family/friend) is at their most vulnerable.
