This area covers legal help for older people and their families in England on issues affecting capacity, welfare and financial decisions. It includes contested statutory will applications, disputes about the validity of wills, and cases where someone needs protection or decisions made on their behalf under the Court of Protection. A solicitor in this field drafts and negotiates applications, gathers medical and financial evidence, and represents clients in Court of Protection proceedings to appoint deputies or handle powers of attorney. It can also involve challenging decisions about care and housing funded by local authorities.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the detailed procedures of the Court of Protection, including raising or defending deputyship and lasting power of attorney matters, applying for guardianship where capacity is in doubt, and navigating complex medical and financial evidence. They draft statements, prepare bundles for court, and liaise with the Office of the Public Guardian, social services, and health bodies to protect the vulnerable client’s interests. Where a will is challenged, they coordinate expert input and advise on financial administration duties.
