-
Mental Incapacity and the Court of Protection

If you need to apply to the Court of Protection, our solicitors can guide you through the process. We can also help if you would like to create a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). This legal document gives someone of your choice permission to make decisions for you if there comes a time when you cannot.

Although accidents are part of life, it is unacceptable if you become injured or ill as a result of somebody else's negligence. Our specialists will make sure you receive the compensation and care you need to restore your quality of life as far as possible. We often work on a No Win, No Fee basis.
-
Wills and probate
If you would like to write a will, our solicitors can help you to decide what to include and advise you on how to minimise Inheritance Tax. We can also help if you would like to update an existing will, so it reflects your current wishes. If you are managing the estate of a loved one, we can guide you through probate.
