If you wish to make a will on behalf of a friend or relative who lacks the necessary mental capacity, our dedicated team can help.
A statutory will is a will granted by the Court of Protection on behalf of a mentally incapacitated person. In legal terms, it is the same as a normal will and is administered in the same fashion upon death.
If you fear that a person is at risk of dying without a will, or that their current will does not reflect their wishes, we can act on your behalf.

The Act brought in a form of protection to the leasehold flat by a Certificate Scheme but unless these certificates are granted at the right time, and in the right way, the protection can be lost. It is crucial that the correct Certificates are in place if you want to sell your leasehold flat, or if you wish to buy one.
