His particular area of expertise is dealing with Court of Protection work, acting as a professional Trustee, Deputy or Attorney (for approximately 100 clients) looking after the property and financial affairs of those individuals who lack mental capacity. Glen also acts as a health and welfare deputy.

He conducts applications to the Court of Protection in relation to trusts, statutory wills, and statutory gifts (including Deeds of Variation) for a full range of clients including statutory gifts measured in millions of pounds. He also advises on the protection of assets and the duties of statutory services in relation to funding care.
