Chambers has several members with a wealth of experience in Court of Protection work, including issues surrounding property, finance, health and welfare.
Members of chambers are able to advise family members on the merits of applying for a Lasting Power of Attorney in cases of elderly relatives with degenerative diseases where they become incapable of managing their own financial affairs, or in the case of serious brain injury or other cases where it has not been possible to apply for an LPA, to assist in Deputyship applications.
