At George Ide we are committed to helping vulnerable members of society who are unable to manage their own affairs as a result of mental incapacity.
Our dedication and passion run deep – our team includes a highly-respected mental health lawyer who has amassed a wealth of experience working in this complex and sensitive field, as well as a court-appointed deputyship solicitor, approved by the Court of Protection to act as a deputy on behalf of clients and their families.
On your side in the court of protection
Our mental health solicitors regularly provide high-quality, expert advice and support in Court of Protection matters. We are experienced in helping protect the welfare of vulnerable adults and children across the UK – our expertise includes protecting those suffering from impaired mental health who have had their rights infringed, perhaps in relation to their freedom or civil liberty, or have been denied their preferred medical treatment.
Why choose us?
Uniquely-placed in our local area to provide an extensive range of highest-quality niche services for mentally-incapacitated clients and those who are seeking to protect the welfare interests of vulnerable loved-ones, our second-to-none reputation is well-deserved.
We have helped many elderly and mentally infirm patients with their wills, offered inheritance tax planning support, advised on sound lasting powers of attorney and the setting up of trusts to protect clients’ assets and help them provide for a financially-secure future.
We pride ourselves on getting to know our clients personally and forging the strong relationships we believe are essential in order to represent your best interests in everything we do.
As a valued client of our leading full-service law firm, you will also have access to extensive and dependable legal and financial expertise from professionals you already know you can trust. We can help with will-writing, for example, as well as personal injury and property matters – and our fully-qualified financial advisors can provide you with dependable investment advice.
Problems travelling?
And, because we understand circumstances can make it difficult for you to get out and about, talk to the team about making arrangements for us to visit you.
We work extensively in our local area and beyond, to make sure you are not left high and dry without support. Simply contact the team to discuss a suitable meeting place, whether it’s a residential home, a hospital, or your own home.

I must of course take this opportunity to tell you how grateful I have been for all your advice, assistance and counsel during the past difficult months. You have been demonstrably skilful, resolute and responsive in all aspects of dealing with my case. I have always felt in very safe hands and your experience shines through, knowing just how to procure the best outcome. I can’t thank you enough for getting me through this horrid and complicated experience. With very best wishes.

I really appreciate your work in this matter, including all of the updates and advice, everything has been so smooth. I will recommend you to my clients. Hollie Redman

It is essential to feel complete confidence in the advice given and the person of one’s solicitor. I have experienced situations in the past where this has not been the case. When seeking a reliable practice some years ago I asked for a recommendation from a neighbour and was given the name of Mr Ian Oliver. I followed this advice, have used this practice ever since and have recommended it to others with complete confidence. It is very reassuring to be in this position.

I would just like to say that it has been an absolute pleasure working with you over the last few years and thank you so much for all your help and support. You have been fantastic. You have certainly been more helpful than I could have possibly hoped.

Ian Oliver and Paul Lewis of George Ide Solicitors, and their appointed barrister, were outstanding in helping us defend an HMO licensing prosecution by a local authority. This was a complex matter which should never have been taken to trial by the local authority. However, thanks to the care, knowledge and tenacity shown by George Ide, the correct judgment was given. Thanks again for guiding us through this stressful experience.

Thank you for being so patient with us, and taking time to explain things in layman’s terms. You have led us through this process with ease and my father is very happy to have reached a conclusion in this matter . All your efforts are very much appreciated. Wishing you all the best.

I would like to inform you that I have received the money and I am very happy about the amount. I would like to thank you for the help and for always having time to write back to my emails. You were always in contact with me. I will recommend you and only you to my friends. Regards,

I take this opportunity to thank you for the support, professionalism, and wonderful advice you gave us throughout this difficult time. It was a very stressful period for us as it was our first experience with the court. Without all your help and legal advice, I would undoubtedly have been in a much more precarious situation. Thank you so much for your support and hard work. On behalf of me and my wife I would like to say a big thank you for taking up my case and representing us as our legal counsel. When we thought it was too much to handle, you were there for us to give us strength and hope. We always found you to be very friendly when we needed any legal advice. Once again, I thank you so much for your understanding, for your patience, your dedication to my case and most of all, thank you for being friendlier, making us more comfortable with your advice and guidance than just a mere professional lawyer during that difficult moment. This means a lot to us, and we will be forever grateful to you.

On a personal note : Thanks for everything you have done, some may say you are just doing your job but the support you offered both in the structure you set up to get me fit again, as well as the emotional counsel you gave got me through one of the most difficult and frightening situations I had dealt with to date. I will certainly be highly recommending you to anyone else that needs such a service. You are a great asset to the firm and hope they know that!
