We are specialists in acting on behalf of the mentally incapacitated. Led by a Court of Protection Panel Deputy, our team can advise on all aspects of mental capacity, from care home funding eligibility to appointing Powers of Attorney.

Mental capacity issues can affect anyone at any stage in their life. Our specialist team are dedicated to providing expert support, advice and representation on any mental capacity issue to the individuals themselves or their friends and families.

Whether you wish to make a Power of Attorney so you can help a parent manage their finances or set up a disabled person's trust to provide for your son or daughter after you have gone, we can help.

Melinda Giles heads the team and has gained a wealth of experience in a range of mental capacity cases from her role as one of 60 Panel Deputies for the Court of Protection. As such, we are also experts in any dealings with the Court and can approach it on your behalf if necessary.

LOSING MENTAL CAPACITY AND HOW WE CAN HELP

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.
