Withers Worldwide

One area of special sensitivity in regard to elder law concerns the extent to which elderly people need to be mentally capable in order to carry out legal actions, including litigation.

Our team are experienced in a broad range of mental capacity issues; our particular strength is in providing clients with practical advice on the arrangements required in order to protect transactions against the allegation of mental incapacity.

We have a broad client base, which, in the context of mental capacity issues, includes not only elderly individuals and their families and carers but also executors, trustees and other involved professionals. In many cases there is an international dimension to their affairs.

At all times, our aim is to offer a service that is not only efficient and comprehensive but also sensitive and compassionate.
