Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection, and Mental Capacity

Powers of attorney are important and powerful documents which, when drafted correctly, allow those chosen to make decisions about your financial affairs and health and welfare that are in your best interests.

We can provide you with advice on powers of attorney to ensure that, in the event you lose mental capacity, you and your affairs are cared for and managed as you wish by the people that you chose.

If you, or a loved one, lose capacity and do not have a power of attorney, our team is able to provide advice on applications to the court of protection to appoint somebody to manage your or your loved ones, affairs. Our experts recognise that not all applications are straight forward and advise families and attorneys on more complex applications to the court of protection. Whether the court application is complex or more streamlined we can ensure that the process is a simple as possible and runs smoothly from the start of the application to the issue of the court order.

Our breadth of experience means that we are able to provide advice on all areas of mental capacity and elderly client law.
