We offer flexible appointments and explain everything in clear, calm, supportive and accessible terms, free of jargon,  and provide ongoing support throughout the process.

Our Legal Services for Neurodivergent Clients

Wills & Estate Planning

Making a will ensures that your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected. We can also advise on:

• Discretionary Trusts – allowing funds to be managed by trusted people without affecting your loved one’s eligibility for means-tested benefits.
• Vulnerable Person’s Trusts – tailored to meet the needs of those with disabilities, ensuring that they are financially protected for life.
• Future planning for carers and parents – helping you make clear arrangements for your loved one’s care and financial stability, even when you’re no longer around.

We’ll take time to explain all the options available and make sure you understand exactly how your choices work, in a way that suits you.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA)

A Lasting Power of Attorney gives someone you trust the legal authority to make decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to. There are two types:

• Health & Welfare LPA – for decisions about care, daily routine, and medical treatment.
• Property & Financial Affairs LPA – for decisions about finance, bills, and managing assets.

Whether you’re setting up an LPA for yourself or on behalf of a loved one, we’ll guide you through the process, helping you understand your rights and responsibilities.

Who We Help

Our services are designed for:

• Neurodivergent adults seeking greater control and peace of mind around future planning.
• Parents and carers of children or young adults with autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent conditions.
• Guardians, special guardians and advocates looking to safeguard long-term wellbeing and support.

A Personal, Accessible Approach

We believe the legal process should never be a barrier. That’s why we offer:

• Flexible communication, whether that’s in-person, over the phone, via video call, or through written summaries.
• Extra time in appointments, to help reduce stress and ensure you feel comfortable asking questions.
• Sensory-friendly support for in-office meetings, and the option to bring a support person or advocate with you.
• Fixed legal fees for our services, so you know how much you’re going to be spending before deciding whether we’re the firm for you.

We’re here to listen, not just to advise. Our clients are never just a number, we take the time to understand what matters most to you and tailor our advice accordingly.
