A retrospective capacity assessment is conducted when a past decision is legally challenged in the present on the grounds of supposed lack of
capacity at the time that decision was taken. An example of this is Contentious Probate, where the
validity of someone’s Will is contested at the point of execution.
Our Halcyon Doctors are dual-trained in both mental and physical health, and have a rare binocular approach when retrospectively assessing capacity (a.k.a. forensic assessments). This is invaluable in more complex cases where individuals were affected by a number of different health conditions. Our Halcyon Doctors accepts instructions from anywhere in the UK. The cost of this service starts from £300 p/h + VAT depending on the chosen expert.
