It is human nature to think “it will never happen to me”, but it is a sad fact of life that an increasing number of us may, at some point, have a loved one that may go into a residential care home or require care and support in their own home. This may be due to illness, old age or perhaps as the result of personal injury or an accident, and it often happens at the most inconvenient of times.

- Court of Protection
Our compassionate solicitors can provide you with an unmatched level of advice, support and representation to safeguard you and your loved ones' best interests through the Court of Protection.
The Court of Protection makes decisions and appoints people to act as deputies on behalf of those who are no longer able to make decisions about their health and welfare, property and finances, and who haven't made provision by appointing a Power of Attorney. It also resolves disputes that arise from Power of Attorney appointments and has the power to make statutory wills.
We are dedicated to protecting the best interests of the vulnerable. We can provide expert advice, support and representation, whether you want to resolve a power of attorney dispute or make an application to become a deputy on behalf of a friend or relative.
We strive to provide a complete service that you can trust. And because every case with the Court is different, our advice and support are always tailored to meet every single one of your needs.

Featured Insights
The headlines around inheritance tax following the budget were noisy on how farmers will be affected, on pension pots and on the fact that there is no rise on the nil rate band in the near future. However, in the small print there is an important change: that is the amount of interest charged on unpaid tax liabilities.
