An introduction to Quastels

At Quastels we understand how challenging it can be to steer through the intricacies of mental capacity, particularly when high-value assets, international considerations and sophisticated trust structures are involved. 

Our experts provide specialist advice for high-net-worth individuals, trustees, families, and for those that care for vulnerable individuals, ensuring all legal protections are in place and that decision-making is fully supported.

Working closely with medical capacity experts, financial advisers and a network of trusted professionals we ensure every aspect is fully considered and our recommendations are tailored to each specific situation.

Our solutions-driven approach is designed to manage the complexities that often accompany high-value estates and international interests, whether establishing and managing Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA), creating Statutory Wills or applying to the Court of Protection. 

Our expertise extends to advising on complex trust arrangements, safeguarding cross-jurisdictional assets, and ensuring seamless continuity in business operations for clients who may lose capacity.

Whether setting up protections in advance or acting on behalf of someone who has lost capacity, our clear, sensitive advice helps clients make confident decisions.
