Without a Will, you leave your estate in the hands of the law which can lead to family conflict and financial complications.

What is a PLO?

PLO stands for Public Law Outline. It is also known as the pre-proceedings process. This is a formal meeting arranged by the Local Authority when they have serious concerns about a child's welfare but want to see whether changes can be made before involving the Court. It’s crucial to go to this meeting with legal representation. At this meeting, the Local Authority will provide a list of expectations to address the concerns about your child. If these expectations are not met, and safety worries persist, care proceedings may start.
Our experienced team is here to help you understand the process, your rights, and provide support during meetings and court appearances as necessary.
If you have been invited to atend a PLO, Contact us today to speak with one of our experienced Family Law Solicitors.
