If you, or a dependant or someone close, becomes ill or incapacitated and unable to manage your own affairs, one of the first questions asked is whether there is anyone who can deal with matters on your behalf, acting to protect you and your interests.

Our Mental Incapacity team can advise you on the most appropriate way of dealing with such situations, taking into account your particular circumstances.

We can also help in issues the areas of welfare benefits, care and support at home or in residential or nursing accommodation, and with questions of funding such care.

In conjunction with our highly regarded personal injury team, we advise in the specialist area of trust preparation during personal injury proceedings, and on the appointment of receivers for individuals who have suffered personal injury.
