Sorting the Money & Paperwork Stuff

When your child’s needs are complex, dealing with the financial and legal side can feel like a whole new battle.

Money matters and legal paperwork shouldn’t stand in the way of your child’s care or your family’s future. At Little Nellies, we offer clear, fixed-fee support for all the financial and legal aspects—covering benefit entitlement reviews, deputyship, lasting power of attorney, and mental capacity assessments for managing money.

We cut through the jargon and red tape, making the process simple and stress-free so you can focus on your child—not the paperwork.

Services That Actually Sort Stuff

Deputyship (COP3) Capacity Assessments

Sometimes, the Court of Protection requires proof of whether a young person can make decisions about their finances. This is where a COP3 capacity assessment comes in.

We meet your child, listen carefully, and produce a clear, plain-English report. Our assessments help the Court make fair decisions—without turning your family’s life into a paperwork circus.

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)

Planning ahead means less stress later. If your child is approaching 18 or is a young adult, a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) might be essential.

We help in two key ways:

Form Completion: We guide you through every page of the LPA forms to ensure nothing is missed or incorrect.
Capacity Assessments: If there’s any doubt about your child’s understanding of what an LPA entails, we conduct a respectful capacity assessment and provide a clear, easy-to-understand report.
