Welcome To Contentious Capacity Solutions
At Contentious Capacity Solutions, our priority is to help you achieve the objectives of your clients. For more than 10 years, we have performed capacity assessments on individuals making wills and powers of attorney, providing evidence regarding their mental capacity. Our number one priority is to make capacity issues simple...
-
Wills
Writing a will is one of the most significant acts we do, but it is essential to be certain that the client maintains testamentary capacity to avoid a future legal challenge.
-
Deputyships
When mental capacity to manage one's own property and financial affairs is lacking the only option may be for a deputy to be appointed.
-
LPA's
Appointing an individual to act on one's behalf can only be achieved if mental capacity to execute the Lasting Power of Attorney is maintained.
-
