Help With Opening a Disabled Person's Trust

Hi,

Scope's guidance states that a Disabled Person's trust can be opened with court compensation (https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/leaving-money-to-disabled-person-in-will-trust)

I have spoken to several solicitors who specialise in these trusts and every one has told me that they don't open them for court compensation.

Does anyone know of any solicitors who will do so?

    Hi @nickneish and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    I don't have any personal experience with this but hopefully some our members who do, will be along shortly and be able to offer some advice.

    I did find Flint Bishop and Renaissance Legal who both seem to specialise in disabled peoples trusts
