Why choose me
I specialise in supporting vulnerable and incapacitated clients, their families and carers by providing legal support when they need it most. I help them navigate complex and sensitive issues such as safeguarding, care funding and financial abuse.
My caseload ranges from wills, probate and LPAs to contentious court of protection applications. I act as a professional Attorney and Deputy and have worked with a range of clients of all ages and backgrounds, including individuals with dementia, brain injuries and learning difficulties.
I raise awareness of legal issues around mental capacity and provide pro-bono talks and legal advice clinics to charities and organisations, including the Local Authority and the Police. I am also a Dementia Friends Ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Society and a Trustee of Age UK Northamptonshire.
In my role as a Notary Public, I support individuals and businesses to verify and authenticate documentation to use in international transactions.

Questions my clients ask me
The rules around this can be complex, but the short answer is this doesn’t work. You can transfer assets to your children as a gift, but this exposes you to a lot of risk and won’t protect you from care fees. Any transfers you make with the intention of avoiding fees could be seen as deliberate deprivation of assets – and you may be treated as though you never made the transfer.
Yes. Having dementia does not necessarily prevent you from making legal documents such as these. It all depends on your ability to understand the information required.
It is the process for managing financial affairs (most commonly) for someone who can no longer make financial decisions themselves. A deputy acts like an attorney.
