Our award-winning estate planning team includes private client lawyers with many years’ experience in future planning, including drawing up Lasting Powers of Attorney and acting as Professional Attorneys when needed.
In the event that you haven’t put in place Lasting Powers of Attorney and the worst has happened, our teams are experienced in making applications to the Court of Protection for the Appointment of a Deputy and acting as Professional Deputies. We're also skilled when it comes to handling more bespoke and complex Court of Protection matters such as gift applications and statutory Wills.
Circumstances often change quickly — whether through age, accident or illness. It's wise to plan ahead around who you want to manage your personal and financial affairs and make critical decisions about your health should you prove unable to do so.
Sometimes, making a Lasting Power of Attorney is impossible through illness or mental incapacity. If this is the case, our solicitors can help you to make a Court of Protection application. This allows a Deputy — either a family member, trusted friend or court-appointed professional — to look after someone’s financial affairs.

Experienced solicitors for complex personal matters
Our team is led by experienced Partner Louise Scholes — an expert in advising clients on making Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection work, acting as Professional Deputy for a number of clients and advises lay deputies. Louise also acts as professional executor, trustee, charitable trustee and attorney.
She works closely alongside Partner Sarah Murphy — an expert legal advisor on issues relating to the provision of care for elderly and vulnerable people. Sarah chairs the Law Society’s Private Client Section Advisory Committee and is a full professional accredited member of Solicitors for the Elderly, as well as a committee member of the regional group Solicitors for the Elderly, serving Lancashire and Cumbria.
We work closely with our expert medical negligence and serious injury team in respect of matters where a professional deputy may be needed.
We can help you to make Property and Financial Affairs LPAs (to allow your attorney to deal with your finances should you become mentally incapable of doing so) and Health and Welfare LPAs (to allow your attorney to make welfare and healthcare decisions on your behalf if you can’t do it yourself).
Our lawyers can provide assistance in applying for statutory Wills, estate planning, making gifts or replacing incapacitated trustees.
