Capacity Vault has been designed and created to ensure that everyone can protect their wishes. Previously the only way to reliably get evidence of your mental capacity was to see a solicitor and/or a doctor every time you made a will. For elderly, poorly and those with dementia-related diagnoses this is very expensive.
With Capacity Vault you can create evidence that will be kept forever. Our evidence is stamped with a unique tamper-proof and legally verifiable code. If your will is challenged we provide verifiable copies of the original to the court along with all the necessary oaths, declarations and paperwork the court needs to use our snapshot of your capacity as evidence.
