Capacity Assessment/Court of Protection (COP3):
We offer a detailed and comprehensive capacity assessment COP3 service across England and Wales. We aim to have all completed COP3s or capacity assessments returned no later than 10 days from the assessment date. We meet around 99% of our work within this timescale and to date, we have had 100% acceptance by judges and authorised court officers. We offer a 'rush service' for an additional fee and can work with you to complete the work within 72 hours.
We now offer three levels of work; simply, this is called Levels 1, 2 and 3.
We like offering a fixed fee service, so with this in mind, you never pay a penny more, even if we work extra on the case. We don't charge VAT, so there is no surprise 20% increase in our invoice.
Please contact us to discuss your individual case.

- Level 3 (or Specialist) work covers the most complex cases, contentious or challenging work; fees are higher as we will need to spend more time on these cases (time).
