Capacity Assessment / Court of Protection (COP3):
We offer a detailed and rapid COP3 service across England and Wales. We aim to have all completed COP3s or capacity assessments returned no later than ten working days from the assessment date. We meet around 99% of our work within a 2-week turnaround from a letter of instruction (or email). We offer a 'rush service' for an additional fee of 50% 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.
Please contact us to discuss your individual case.
We now offer three levels of work; simply, this is called Levels 1, 2 and 3.
- Level 1 (now called Standard) work covers all non-complex casework that is not contentious or reassessing an existing capacity assessment. Our fees for this work start at £395.
- Level 2 (now called Plus+) work covers some complex, contentious, or challenging cases. Fees for Level 2 work start at £650 and reasonable reading time.
- Level 3 (now called Complex) 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). 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. Fees for Level 3 work start at £995 and covers all case preparation and reasonable reading time plus a whole day of the assessor's time. Some cases may have several hundreds of pages; we will charge additional reading time over 90 minutes for these cases, and if we have to work more than 1 day, additional charges at our ISW rate apply.
