| Where someone has
lost mental capacity and does not have a Continuing Power of Attorney
in place it will be necessary to apply to the Court for an order
to deal with their affairs. New legislation introduced in 2000 requires
the least intervention possible in dealing with an adult’s
affairs and there are a number of orders which can be applied for
depending on the circumstances.
We can: -
| |
|
Determine what order
would be appropriate |
| |
|
Provide guardians |
| |
|
Obtain the necessary medical reports |
| |
|
Appear at and obtain the relevant
order from the Court |
| |
|
Administer the adult’s affairs
once the order is in place |
