Client Testimonials

In my experience there are cases where you certainly question if a client has mental capacity. Always acting in the client’s best interest, it is important to establish if indeed you can act on the client’s instruction. Susan Carol’ independent, professional mental capacity assessments provide such reassurance to be able to act, or not, as the case may be.
Mike Shield, Independent Will Writer and Estate Planning Practitioner at Protectus
I cannot recommend Susan enough. Her care, sensitivity and support for clients is unmatched. She advocated for my client in a way I have never seen before, she really went above and beyond. What I would say is if you have a client who you think may be entitled to a benefit evaluation or needs more support with their long-term care plan, Susan is the only person I would trust with this. 10/10 service.
Anna Harrison Financial Planner
Susan’s specialist knowledge in adult safeguarding, social work and mental capacity is vast and she is always my go to for advice and guidance.
