Planning for the future is important, especially for your health and financial affairs. By putting an LPA in place, you keep control over who manages your affairs and make sure your wishes are respected in times of need.
If a loved one has already lost capacity to manage their own affairs and there is no LPA in place, we can guide you through an application to the Court of Protection, so that a deputy can be appointed to manage their affairs. We understand how sensitive these situations are, and we offer practical support with empathy and professionalism.
We also advise where disputes arise over the management of a vulnerable person’s affairs, including contested deputyship applications and concerns about financial abuse.
