General Law solicitor in Central London

Court Of Protection

We assist with applications to the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputy when someone lacks the mental capacity to manage their affairs and has not appointed an attorney. This ensures decisions are made legally and in the person’s best interest.

Document Certification

We certify copies of important documents, confirming they are true copies of the originals. This service is often required for legal, financial, or official purposes, ensuring documents are accepted by authorities or other parties.

Witnessing And Swearing Documents

Our team can witness signatures on legal documents and administer sworn statements or affidavits, providing formal verification required for many legal transactions and proceedings.

Oaths

We administer oaths, which are solemn promises to tell the truth in affidavits or statutory declarations. This legal formality supports the authenticity and seriousness of the statements made.

Statutory Declarations

We help prepare and witness statutory declarations, which are formal statements made affirming the truth of facts, often required by courts, government bodies, or other institutions.

Declaration Of Trusts

We draft and advise on declarations of trust, legal documents outlining how property or assets are held and managed between parties, clarifying ownership and responsibilities.

Trusts

We provide advice on setting up lifetime trusts and handle all related tax reporting to HM Revenue & Customs, ensuring compliance and effective management of the trust’s assets.

Debt Recovery And Satisfaction

Our services include helping recover outstanding debts and formalising their settlement. We guide clients through the legal process to secure payment and document the satisfaction of debts clearly.
