Fiona recently helped a solicitor who had been appointed as a deputy by the Court of Protection, where a child had received compensation following an accident in which she had suffered brain damage and her family needed to move to a new home where the environment was suitable for the delivery of her care.

The solicitor’s client had died in her rented flat. There were no beneficiaries.

A client of the instructing solicitor went into a care home having given the solicitor power of attorney to deal with her affairs. There were no relatives.
