You can claim on behalf of a child under 18 at any point. Once they turn 18, they can make the claim for themselves up until their 21st birthday. Our team can talk you through the process around setting up a trust fund.
You could also make a claim on behalf of your spouse or family member who does not have the mental capacity to do so themselves – there is no time limit for this. It might be a family member with a disability or neurological condition - our Court of Protection team can help if you’re struggling to assess whether the person is capable to make decisions for themselves.
