Court of Protection Solicitors

Some individuals may lack the capacity to make decisions about important aspects of their live as a result of a mental impairment. This can apply to people with learning disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions, acquired brain injuries, mental illnesses or other neurological or physical health problems. Other individuals, whilst cognitively able to make decisions, are so vulnerable to influence or pressure from other people that in practice they cannot exercise their capacity.

 

Ben Hoare Bell has particular expertise in representing those who lack capacity in Court of Protection proceedings and in advising and representing the carers and families of individuals in respect of whom Court of Protection proceedings or local authority safeguarding processes are in place.

 

Our team is based across the North East and can arrange an appointment at our Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland offices. Appointments can also be arranged remotely by telephone if you would prefer.
