Life-sustaining treatment covers decisions about whether to provide, withhold or withdraw treatments that keep a person alive, and the process of assessing the patient’s best interests when they lack capacity. A solicitor working in this area helps clients navigate end-of-life decisions, consent, capacity assessments, and appeals when a patient cannot decide for themselves. They also handle advance decision-making, lasting powers of attorney, and communication with healthcare teams to ensure patient wishes and rights are respected.
They focus on preserving the client’s position where a decision could have irreversible consequences, such as withdrawal of life-sustaining interventions or challenging or supporting capacity rulings. A solicitor provides guidance on statutory frameworks, the role of courts when disputes arise, and how to document patients’ wishes through advance directives and best-interests processes.
