Solicitor at Higgs LLP

Claire Whittall

Solicitor - Senior Associate

SRA ID: 506986

I deal specifically with matters where mental capacity is questioned and offer practical approaches to resolve any difficulties this may cause. I also deal with all applications to the Court of Protection. I advise lay and professional deputies in making decisions for individuals who lack the mental capacity to do so themselves. I act with the individual’s best interests in mind and adopt a caring approach. Further to this I advise clients on a range of other matters including wills, powers of attorney, advance directives (also known as living wills), care home fee planning and older client matters generally. In addition, I work closely with our Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury teams, advising their clients on the merits of Personal Injury Trusts or Deputyship Orders following settlement of their case. I am a member of Solicitors for the Elderly and a Dementia Friend.
