If someone loses their mental capacity or physical ability to look after their own affairs, only their legally appointed Attorney or their Deputy under a Deputyship Order has the authority to handle their financial affairs and make decisions about their health, medical treatment and welfare.
If someone is no longer capable of managing their own financial affairs and they do not have a valid Enduring Power of Attorney or Lasting Power of Attorney (Property and Affairs), it may be necessary for the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputy to manage their affairs. The Deputy will take responsibility for the incapacitated person's finances under the guidance of the Court of Protection and the Office of the Public Guardian.
If you're planning ahead for the possibility that one day you might need or want help with your property and financial affairs or with health and welfare decisions , QualitySolicitors are here to provide you with expert professional advice and to ensure that the arrangements you want are put in place with a Lasting Power of Attorney that puts you in control in advance.
