What we do
OUR MENTAL CAPACITY SERVICES IN THE MIDLANDS
Capacity to Litigate (Midlands)
Capacity to litigate assessments determine whether an individual can understand and participate in legal proceedings. This is essential in ensuring individuals can make informed decisions about pursuing or defending legal action and fully understand the consequences involved. Our assessments support solicitors and legal teams in ensuring fair and informed legal representation.
COP3 Assessments (Midlands)
COP3 assessments are used in Court of Protection applications where decisions need to be made regarding finances, property, or welfare matters. We provide clear, structured assessments that support deputyship applications and legal decision-making while ensuring the individual’s rights and interests are fully considered.

Testamentary capacity assessments evaluate whether an individual has the mental capacity to create or amend a valid will. These assessments are often required in probate matters and disputed estates, ensuring legal clarity and protecting against future challenges.
