What's your role?

I deal with the management of affairs of individuals who lack capacity, whether that be as a result of accident or illness. I work with a wide age range of clients from children who have cerebral palsy to elderly clients who have been diagnosed with a form of dementia.

Your experience

I am particularly experienced in contentious Court of Protection applications usually steaming from new panel referrals. At the start of the matter I consider whether there are funds which have been misappropriated and whether we can expect to recover these funds. I consider whether statutory wills or gifting applications are appropriate.

A highlight of my role is being involved in the projects to rebuild/adapt properties purchased for clients who have received compensation monies as a result of personal injury or clinical negligence. I also have a wealth of experience in liaising with case managers and therapist.
