If someone is unable to make a Will themselves, the Court of Protection can order that a ‘Statutory Will’ is made for them.
The ability to have the Court make a Will where someone lacks mental capacity can also be very useful to change a Will where there have been some other changes in circumstances.
Alternatively, a Will can be made where none exists and the Intestacy Rules would operate unfairly.

I have been a client of Actons since 1997; conveyancing on 2 occasions and Wills and Powers of Attorney, all of which went very smoothly. The people I have met since that time have always been well-mannered, kind and courteous and very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use Actons again should occasion arise.Mr Simpson
