Statutory Wills

Our experienced and friendly team are here to provide you with expert advice and assistance through the Court of Protection Statutory Will writing process, to ensure that the best interests of your loved one are protected where statutory wills are concerned.

As an attorney or deputy, you are authorised to make certain decisions on behalf of a vulnerable person without the need for any other authority.

When is a statutory will required?

Where a person has lost the capacity to make a will and it is considered necessary to do so, our team of expert lawyers can assist with this. Usually if the person has never made a will, or if there has been a significant change in their circumstances, an application must be made to the Court of Protection.

The decision on whether to grant a Court of Protection Statutory Will is only made after careful investigation by the court to determine what is in that person’s best interests.

Sometimes, relatives or loved ones of the vulnerable person do not agree with each other or the court about what terms should be put into the Statutory Will. This is why legal guidance is necessary in such circumstances.

Getting the right legal advice could help you identify potential problems early on or assist you in challenging a Court of Protection Statutory Will if you feel it is not fair.

Our experienced and friendly team are here to provide you with expert advice and assistance through what may be a lengthy and involved process to ensure that the best interests of your loved one are protected.
