Personal injury and Court of Protection services

Safeguarding settlement awards to last a lifetime

Large personal injury and medical negligence settlements represent a complex mix of loss and opportunity. While they cannot undo the harm experienced or restore what has been lost, they provide the financial means to regain stability and plan for the future.

At Quilter Cheviot, our dedicated team of Court of Protection and personal injury specialists works closely with individuals, their families and legal professionals, including court-appointed deputies and trustees managing personal injury trusts. We help protect settlement awards with care and purpose, drawing on our experience to shape them into resilient financial strategies that support long-term wellbeing and peace of mind.

Bespoke service, flexible delivery

We believe clients with complex financial needs benefit most when a financial planner and an investment manager work together. Each brings distinct expertise, with one focused on long-term planning and the other on managing investments with care and technical skill.

To ensure clients receive the support that best suits their circumstances, Quilter Cheviot offers two service models:

Clear roles, strong accountability

In areas like the Court of Protection, where fiduciary integrity is paramount, we believe that having the roles of financial planner and investment manager separate is essential to maintaining transparency of service.

While some providers choose to combine these roles within a single dual qualified individual, we feel that doing so can blur the lines of accountability. Our approach ensures that each professional acts solely within their remit, reinforcing the trust placed in us by deputies, families, and legal professionals.
