    What advice do you seek?
    Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.

    Litigants in Person should download and read the Judiciary's handbook for litigants in person: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/..._in_Person.pdf

      how can we fight this?
      thought it would be police matter but they say it could have been consensual. Without their help we can’t see if any misappropriation of his funds.
      solicitor who signed Will does not appear to have followed the golden rule with any official competence checks. Also third party could have written will, definitely made appointment.

          If the vulnerable person is still alive, the Office of Public Guardian supervises deputies and a report raising concerns can be filed with it
