Mental Capacity Assessments for Solicitors

Solicitors rely on my reports for:

• Testamentary Capacity

• LPA (Property & Financial Affairs)

• LPA (Health & Welfare)

• Decision-specific capacity evaluations

• Capacity advice on complex cases

• Independent, neutral professional opinion

I understand the pressures on legal professionals and aim to provide clear communication, quick turnaround times and reports that stand up to scrutiny.

✔ Clear, structured reports

Written in a format that directly supports legal decision-making.

✔ Independent and objective

No assumptions, no bias, and no pre-conceptions.

✔ Evidence-based

Each conclusion is backed by direct quotes, cognitive observations, and structured reasoning.

✔ Reduces risk

Well-documented evidence protects both the solicitor’s practice and the client’s wishes.

✔ Support for difficult cases

Including cases involving conflict, safeguarding or challenges from family members.

Where necessary, I can offer priority assessments for:

• Imminent will-signing

• Health-related deterioration

• Urgent legal deadlines

• High-risk circumstances

Early communication helps ensure the assessment is completed promptly and appropriately.

With consent, I liaise with:

• GP practices

• Care homes

• Social workers

• Family members

• Attorneys

This ensures a full understanding of the context and supports a more accurate capacity evaluation.

• Independent and objective

• Clear, structured reports

• Understanding of legal frameworks

• Warm, supportive communication style

• Flexible appointments at home, care settings or solicitors offices

• Trusted by solicitors and professionals
