Do you need to make a will?

Many people put off making their will. 

Over half of British adults have not made a will.  Some may sadly find themselves in a position where they no longer have capacity as a result of developing a medical condition such as dementia, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson's disease or have met with an accident which affects their brain function. 

In these cases, it is not possible for a person to make a will. However, this doesn't mean that it is too late and your have no options. It may be possible to apply to the Court of Protection for permission to make a will on behalf of the person who has lost capacity. 

It is advised to work with a specialist lawyer who understands the Court of Protection and how to make it work for your family.
