Aimed at legal professionals, our financial planning team is hosting a Court of Protection webinar with guest speaker, Ben Slater from Nellie Supports.

Nellie Supports is the UK’s largest independent social work practice, providing court-ready evidence for complex decisions: Mental Capacity Act assessments, care-needs and cost reports, life-expectancy reports and EHCP social-care assessments.

Ben Slater is the Practice Lead and Managing Director for Nellie Supports, with 11+ years’ experience delivering decision-specific mental capacity assessments, specialising in complex and contested matters. He is also a certified Montreal Cognitive Assessor and Lichtenberg Financial Vulnerability Assessor.

The webinar will cover key aspects surrounding capacity assessments, including:

•    The therapeutic nature of capacity assessments
•    Testamentary capacity vs. financial capacity: where the lines meet
•    Capacity to manage property and affairs: what a client must understand

Our financial planning experts will briefly discuss how a financial adviser can support the Court of Protection services offered by law firms by considering a real life case study around cashflow planning.
