What can you do if an elderly or vulnerable person does not have the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves? Or indeed if you need to protect your arrangements against any suggestion of mental incapacity?
If you have concerns that someone in your life is no longer able to take legal decisions for themselves, we can offer guidance. We have a huge amount of legal and life experience in mental capacity matters, and have helped to develop the law in this area. We assist individuals, families, trustees, conservators and other professionals in all kinds of cases.A good first step is to establish the facts of the matter. If necessary, we will call on an extensive network of professional contacts, including medical mental capacity experts, to do this. With this information we will find a solution – whether by agreement, by obtaining a court order, or in the last resort, through litigation.
