Court of Protection
We have many years of experience dealing with the Court of Protection and are approved solicitors to deal in the following areas;
Enduring Powers of Attorney
There are a number of reasons why you may require someone to act as your Attorney. For example you may be going abroad for an extended period and wish to give someone authority to deal with your affairs in your absence or you may be facing an extended spell in hospital.
However the main reason people make Powers of Attorney is to provide for a future situation where they may become physically and/or mentally incapable of dealing with their own affairs.
Receivership
When someone becomes mentally incapable of handling their own financial affairs, and do not have a valid Enduring Power of Attorney the Court of Protection can appoint someone else, a Receiver, to manage those affairs.
A Receiver could be a relative, friend or professional, such as a solicitor. The person making the application can ask to be appointed themselves, or for someone else to be appointed.
