If Someone Has Dementia, Can They Make A Will & Lasting Power Of Attorney?

Making plans for what happens to your estate when you die can seem daunting, but in our experience it’s always worth putting plans in place sooner rather than later simply because the future is unknown.

It is estimated that around 900,000 people in the UK are currently living with dementia and although the bigger risk of developing dementia occurs after 65, more than 40,000 individuals under 65 have early-onset dementia.

What happens if you develop dementia before you’ve finalised plans for your estate? Can you still make a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?

It is possible for you or your loved one to make a valid Will or LPA if you are living with dementia – as long as you have the mental capacity to do so.

Wills & Dementia

Thankfully, there are times we are able to help clients with dementia to make a Will, but it is far from straightforward and there is an increased risk of a claim being made against the person’s estate after they die.

The challenge is proving the individual has the mental capacity to make a Will despite their dementia diagnosis.

If you or your loved one can still understand enough to make decisions about the Will, then you can make a Will. Speak to a solicitor for legal guidance and it’s advisable to get a statement from your doctor to confirm you have the mental capacity at the time of writing your Will, as this will help to avoid disputes later on.

What If You Can’t Make A Will Because You Have Dementia?

If it’s too late for you or a loved one to make a Will, then what happens next depends on whether there is an earlier Will.

If there is a valid Will that was made earlier, then this will stand as your legally valid Will.

If no Will exists, the rules of intestacy will apply when you die – unless family members ask the Court of Protection to approve a statutory Will on your behalf as a statutory Will is designed to detail those wishes someone would make if they had the mental capacity to make their own Will.

LPAs & Dementia

Both types of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), the ones for property and finances, and the ones for health and wellbeing, enable someone to appoint an attorney or attorneys to make decisions on their behalf if they lose the mental capacity to do so themselves.

To make an LPA, you must have the mental capacity to make decisions.

You can still have the capacity to make one if you or a loved one has dementia because your solicitor can assess your mental abilities referencing the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

A 2022 case provided clarity on what mental capacity for LPAs means, stating the need for “relevant information” and the ability to retain it.

The information a person needs includes an understanding of:

  • The effect of the LPA
  • Who the attorneys are
  • What powers the attorneys have
  • When the attorneys can use their powers
  • How the attorneys can use their powers
  • Having the power to revoke the LPA when they have the capacity to do so

To make an LPA, a Certificate Provider must sign it to verify that the individual understands all they need to with regards to the LPA – which provides both reassurance at the time that the person has the mental capacity to make an LPA and helps to prevent future LPA disputes.

It’s worth noting that an LPA is only legally valid once it is registered with the Office of the Public Guardian, so don’t forget to register the document once it is completed and signed.

What If You Can’t Make An LPA Because You Have Dementia?

If you or your loved one’s dementia is advanced and this means there is an inability to make decisions, you can’t make an LPA.

In this situation, there are 2 options for you or a loved one:

  • Apply to be a deputy
    You can apply to the Court of Protection to be your loved one’s appointed deputy. As deputy, you have legal rights to make decisions for and on behalf of your loved one. It is similar to having an LPA in place but comes with more restrictions and management, and can take a while to set up.
  • Appoint a professional deputy
    You can appoint a professional deputy, such as Bartletts Solicitors, to make decisions for and on behalf of your loved one.

Seek Medical Opinions To Prevent Future Challenges

If there are concerns about your or your loved one’s mental capacity to make a Will or an LPA, ask for a medical professional’s opinion. You can arrange for a doctor to run an independent assessment of mental capacity or to provide a written medical statement to confirm you have the mental ability to understand and make this decision.

How We Can Help You With Your Concerns Over Making A Will Or LPA With Dementia

Can I Change A Will After Someone Has Died?

Changing A Will After Someone Has Died

A Deed of Variation can be used to change a Will, or alter the outcome of the rules of intestacy, after someone has died.

Why Use A Deed Of Variation?

A document that is used by the beneficiaries of an estate to redistribute assets they are due to inherit, a Deed of Variation is useful if the outcome of a Will or the rules of intestacy are seen as unfair by the beneficiaries.

There are many scenarios when a Deed of Variation is appropriate to use, including:

  • If a family member has been excluded
    For example, if a Will or the rules of intestacy results in a child or a dependent being left out who the deceased would have wanted to benefit from the estate, you might choose to redirect some of your share of the inheritance to this person.
  • Not needed
    If you don’t need your share of the inheritance but a family member does, you might choose to redirect it to them.
  • Charitable donation
    You might want to give some of your inheritance to charity.

Why Not Just Gift Your Share Yourself?

By gifting your share of inheritance through a Deed of Variation, you are able to avoid any tax implications involved by ensuring the gift is from the deceased rather than from you.

This means you don’t need to survive for 7 years after making the gift to avoid inheritance tax and capital gains tax liability on your estate when you die.

It also means you can take advantage of any available tax benefits at the time of gifting. For example, if property is redirected to a direct descendant, then the estate can use their Residence Nil Rate Band allowance if property was not previously being gifted to a direct descendant. Or if 10% of the estate is redirected to be gifted to a charity, the inheritance tax rate for the estate would decrease from 40% to 36%, which could result in big savings for the beneficiaries.

Another option is to redirect any inheritance into a trust to provide asset protection for future generations. This may also reduce tax liability for the estate.

How Can You Use A Deed Of Variation?

A beneficiary can only change the distribution of their share of the estate and not the shares of other beneficiaries.

Beneficiaries can choose to redirect their inheritance so that they all give a share of their inheritance to the individual or charity, or a beneficiary can choose to give a share of their inheritance – either way, the agreement of anyone else affected by the decision is needed for this to happen.

To use a Deed of Variation, the redistribution must be agreed by any beneficiaries who are impacted by the changes. All those affected must be over the age of 18.

The Deed of Variation needs to be signed by the Will executor or by the administrator of the estate.

When Can You Use A Deed Of Variation?

You can make a change using a Deed of Variation before or after obtaining a Grant of Probate. It must be within 2 years of the deceased’s death to take advantage of any potential tax benefits.

How We Can Help You With Your Deed Of Variation

Our specialist Wills and probate solicitors can help you when it comes to changing a Will or the outcome of the rules of intestacy after someone has passed away.

We can advise you on the appropriateness of using a Deed of Variation to redistribute assets you’re due to inherit, as well as help you in the creation of one.

With our help and guidance, you’ll be able to make any changes to the Will or outcome of intestacy to redirect your inheritance or redistribute a share of your inheritance, in the most straightforward and tax efficient way possible.

What Happens If A Will Is Missing?

If you are the surviving spouse or relative and know that a Will has been written but you’re unable to find it, what happens next?

Bartletts Solicitors estate administrationAs a guide, you should conduct a thorough search to try to find the Will before assessing your options – depending on the outcome of your search, you might need to seek legal advice to distribute the estate according to your loved one’s wishes and ensure the rules of intestacy do not apply.

Searching For A Will

To ensure the deceased’s estate is distributed according to their wishes rather than the rules of intestacy, you need to find their original Will.

There are key places to search for the Will, including:

  • Home
    Many people keep their Will at home, often in a safe or with other important documents, so searching the deceased’s home is a good place to start.
  • Friends & Family
    Speak to friends and family members of the deceased, to see if they are storing the Will – at the very least, if it’s not with them, they might know where it is being stored.
  • Bank
    Some people store their Wills at their bank or building society so it’s a good idea to check here too.
  • Solicitors
    Many people store their original Will with their solicitor’s firm, to ensure it is kept safe. If the deceased’s local solicitors’ firm has closed, you can contact the Solicitors Regulation Authority for details of the company that took over from the firm.
  • National Will Registry
    More than 10million Wills are registered with the National Will Registry so it’s worth checking the registry.

What Happens If You Can’t Find The Original Will?

The answer to this question depends on the particular circumstances surrounding the missing Will.

The Will Was Destroyed

If the original Will cannot be found but it was believed to have last been with the deceased, the legal assumption is that the Will has been destroyed with a view to it being revoked.

When this happens, loved ones need to provide evidence to show the deceased did not intend to revoke it.

The Will Was Never Made

If the Will cannot be found and it is believed there wasn’t one in the first place, then the rules of intestacy apply.

Only The Copy Is Found

If the original Will isn’t found but a signed copy is, then loved ones can apply to the Probate Registry under Rule 54 of the Non-Contentions Probate Rules 1987, for an Order that enables them to prove the copy is legally valid.

No original or copy can be located

We always recommend that a Missing Will Search is undertaken.  There are various companies that can undertake a Will search for a fee which would be payable from the estate.  This can protect family members in the event that a Will is later found, when the estate has been dealt with previously on the basis that there was no Will. It can also be advised that Missing Will Insurance is taken out.

For this Order to be successful, relatives will need to provide evidence that the copy is the same as the original Will and that the original has been lost rather than destroyed and revoked. The Registrar will also need to be satisfied that every person who would be entitled to the estate, if there was no Will in existence (i.e. under the Rules of Intestacy) are in agreement with a copy of the Will being proved.

How We Can Help You When A Will Is Missing

When a Will can’t be found or only a copy of the Will can be found, it can be stressful for loved ones to prove that the original wasn’t revoked by the deceased and that their estate should still be distributed according to their wishes rather than the rules of intestacy.

It is a complex area of law, but our specialists have the knowledge and experience to help clients with lost Wills and estate administration. Our solicitors will provide expertise together with advice and guidance on searching for the Will and providing the necessary evidence for the Will to be deemed legally valid, to ensure the best possible outcome for you in this situation.

Can I claim for a Forklift Truck Accident?

An incredible proportion of all transport related accidents in the workplace involve forklift trucks (almost 25%) – and after recent incidents caused by propane powered forklifts, the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has issued a safety notice on the importance of employers taking greater action to minimise the risk of forklift accidents.

Forklift Accidents At Work

The resulting injuries following forklift accidents, range from the minor to severe and even fatal, and usually cause workers to have time off in order to recover.

The most common dangers of using forklifts in the workplace, include:

  • Obstacles
  • Uneven flooring
  • Sharing the space with pedestrians
  • Lack of health and safety measures
  • Lack of training

The most common causes of forklift accident claims, include:

  • Hitting pedestrians
  • Loads falling off onto someone
  • Trapping limbs
  • Tipping over on bends
  • Insufficient space
  • Tiredness
  • Inadequate equipment

Health & Safety Executive’s Safety Notice

The Health & Safety Executive believe that the high level of forklift truck accidents is due to poor regulation and poor training by managers.

To improve the sector and minimise risks, the HSE has published an Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) that makes clear the minimum standards forklift drivers must observe:

  • Training for managers and operators, at least every 3 years
  • Vehicles must be maintained and any faults reported to supervisors
  • Sufficient space for free and safe movement
  • Premises maintained

In May 2023, the HSE also published a safety notice after becoming aware of a number of fires on LPG powered forklifts that have happened when starting the vehicles.  Advice includes carrying out regular training in the use of LPG powered forklift trucks as well as ensuring awareness of potential hazards of these vehicles and keeping the spaces in which they are operated well ventilated.

Employers’ Duty Of Care

Employers are legally obliged to keep all employees safe while on the premises. This includes protecting them from potential hazards and risks in order to provide a safe working environment. Training must be provided on how to safely operate all machinery and equipment, including forklift trucks, and all equipment must be maintained.

If your employer has been negligent in their duty of care and you’ve been injured in a forklift accident as a result, you likely have grounds to claim for compensation.

Forklift Personal Injury Claims

As all forklift accidents and resulting injuries are unique, the amount of compensation in each case is too.

Factors that determine the level of compensation include your pain and suffering since your forklift accident at work, which is assessed during a medical examination to confirm the extent of injuries. Financial losses are also taken into consideration, such as loss of earnings and costs for medical treatment or travel to medical premises.

How We Can Help You With Your Forklift Accident Claims

Our specialist solicitors have extensive experience of handling  forklift personal injury claims for clients and have an established track record of securing successful outcomes.

We will establish all the details of your forklift accident during a free initial, no-obligation consultation, which will enable us to calculate a fair settlement for your case – should you decide to go ahead with your claim for compensation, we will work hard to support you throughout the claims process and secure the compensation you deserve.

Can You Claim For An Accident At Work Involving Dangerous Machinery?

Certain workplaces can be dangerous, especially those that have lots of moving machinery on the premises – so what happens if you’re injured in an accident at work involving dangerous machinery?

accident at work Bartletts SolicitorsAccidents like these can cause serious personal injuries and can change a person’s life. It is only fair that you receive the compensation you deserve if the accident happened because of your employer’s negligence.

What Makes A Workplace Dangerous?

Workplaces that are full of machinery with moving parts can be dangerous. The types of machinery include:

  • Forklift trucks
  • Cutting machines
  • Crushing devices
  • Conveyor belts
  • Hydraulic hoses
  • Drills
  • Handheld tools
  • Mowers
  • Gardening equipment

Is Your Employer To Blame?

Employers have a legal duty to protect employees from being hurt by machinery whilst on the premises and to keep them safe.

There are conditions for employers to meet to ensure employees are kept safe. These include:

  • Keeping all machinery in good working order
  • Ensuring employees receive proper training
  • Having safeguards in place in case things go wrong, such as ‘kill’ switches
  • Putting measures in place to prevent access to moving parts wherever possible

If you’re hurt in an accident involving dangerous workplace machinery, your employer may try to blame you for it – however, if your accident happened as a result of your employer failing to fulfil their legal obligations to keep you safe, then you can likely make a claim against your employer for compensation.

Why Make A Claim For Compensation?

Accidents involving dangerous machinery can lead to serious and sometimes life-changing personal injuries. You could lose a limb or finger as a result of the accident, which is traumatic and painful – and furthermore, you could also lose out on pay due to being unable to work for a while or needing to change jobs.

You may require surgery in the future or a prosthetic limb or finger, which is costly.

By making a claim for compensation, you will receive the money you need and deserve to help you recover from your injuries.

Employers have to, by law, have liability insurance in place. This means that in the majority of claims cases, they are handled by the insurance company and not your employer – so don’t be put off from claiming for fear of what your employer may say or do.

Can You Claim?

We are here to help you secure the compensation you deserve and one of our specialist solicitors will advise you if you’re able to make a claim against your employer.

As a guide, you can usually make a claim even if:

  • You no longer work at the place where the accident happened
  • The accident happened more than 3 years ago
  • You were self-employed at the time of the accident if someone else was in control of your working environment

By finding out the full details of your workplace accident involving machinery, we will provide you with expert advice and guidance on what the best next step is and will fully support you if you decide to go ahead with claiming for compensation.

Can I Claim Compensation From My Employer If I am Injured By A Co-Worker?

If you’re injured in an accident at work that was caused by another employee, then you can usually make a claim for compensation against your employer.

Accident At Work ClaimsBy using the law of vicarious liability, it is possible to shift the blame for your accident from your colleague to your employer.

Vicarious Liability Claims

The law of vicarious liability enables the responsibility for your accident to be shifted from the employee who caused it onto your employer – if at the time of the work accident you had both been carrying out your jobs or acting on behalf of the employer.

As a result of the law of vicarious liability, employers are forced to accept responsibility for injuries caused by an employee whilst they were at work and carrying out work-related tasks.

Sometimes, an employer can be found liable for injuries that happen as a result of an accident caused by a sub-contractor or even an employer at another business can be sued if the injuries were inflicted by one of their employees.

The benefit of making a vicarious liability claim against your employer or another employer is that employers usually have insurance in place and are able to cover the compensation costs more easily as a result, unlike employees – which means your compensation claim is far more likely to be successful.

Types Of Vicarious Liability Claims

Vicarious liability claims can be made for a number of reasons, including the following:

  • An employee runs over your foot with a piece of work-related equipment or machinery
  • A colleague drives a work vehicle recklessly, causing you injuries
  • Health and safety measures are not carried out by an employee, leading to your injuries
  • A colleague fails to properly secure part of the site scaffolding, causing you injuries
  • A customer service assistant punches you outside a supermarket following an exchange in the shop

How Can You Make A Vicarious Liability Claim?

To make a claim on the grounds of vicarious liability, you need to prove a connection between your injuries and the acts of your fellow employee.

As a guide, you need to be able to show that the following were true when you sustained your injuries:

  • The employee who injured you had a work-based relationship with the employer
  • The employee’s actions that caused the accident were part of their daily work duties and part of what they were asked to do by the employer

How We Can Help You With Your Vicarious Liability Claim

If you have been injured in an accident at work that was caused by a colleague or happened on business premises and was the fault of an employee, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation against your employer or another employer on the grounds of vicarious liability.

Our specialist solicitors have a proven track-record of assisting clients with their vicarious liability claims and work hard to make the process as effective and stress-free as possible.

Bartletts Solicitors Help Local Lecturer Win Compensation Following Hair Bleach Incident

A local lecturer who suffered head and hair damage following a bleach treatment incident, has been awarded compensation after making a claim with the help of Bartletts Solicitors, a legal firm with a proven track-record of assisting clients across the Northwest of England on a wide range of legal issues.

Specialist personal injury lawyers at Bartletts Solicitors were able to conduct the necessary research into the case and establish that the treatment had been negligently carried out, ensuring that the 35-year-old lecturer won her compensation claim for the injuries she’d suffered as a result of the negligence.

The lecturer had received a hair bleach treatment, but the bleach had been left on for too long, resulting in itchiness and soreness of the scalp as well as root damage.

As a result of the bleach being left on beyond the correct time, she suffered physically because of the scalp injuries and psychologically because of the hair breakage caused by the damage to the roots of her hair.

It took 50 months for her hair to re-grow and recover to the level of its previous condition – and this led to her suffering an adjustment disorder with anxiety.

Thankfully, Bartletts Solicitors were able to successfully assist the lecturer with her claim for compensation and she was awarded £8,108 for her personal injuries and to cover the costs of her hair treatment expenses.

Bartletts Solicitors firm is committed to securing the highest possible level of compensation for individuals who’ve suffered personal injuries as the result of an accident that wasn’t their fault and is always happy to help.
