We all know or have heard of people who suffer with mental capacity issues such as Alzheimer’s and the problems this can cause when dealing with their day to day financial affairs.

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 makes provision for individuals to chose a suitable person(s) to manage their property and finances and also make decisions about their health and welfare on their behalf should they become mentally incapable of doing so themselves. This is achieved through a Lasting Power of Attorney.

If this is something that is of concern to you.

We can recommend a specialist team of solicitors that can help guide you.
