Publisher Description:

This book is aimed for the benefit of legal practitioners who are inexperienced in dealing with mental capacity issues and providing a refresher for those with more experience. The first part of the book deals with legal theory, the second part offers practical guidance in assessing capacity and the appendices provide further resources and precedents.


Legal practitioners must be satisfied that their client has the requisite mental capacity to provide instructions and as such, it is an area of law that all practitioners must have some awareness of. For those who do not regularly deal with clients where capacity may be an issue, it can be a daunting prospect to know what steps to take. This book will hopefully provide practical solutions and confidence to practitioners in those situations.
