Being able to make our own decisions is a fundamental part of living life on our own terms. But have you ever thought about what would happen if you suddenly couldn’t make your own decisions? For example, if you were diagnosed with an illness such as Alzheimer’s or dementia or had an accident and as a result were unable to make decisions yourself, who would handle your finances or make sure you’re cared for the way you want? It’s natural to assume your family would step in, but without an LPA granting them the legal authority to make decisions on your behalf, the Court of Protection will determine who should take on this responsibility. That’s why creating an LPA is so important—it is a proactive way to plan for such situations and ensures that the people you trust can carry out your wishes.
There are two types of LPA:
As your expert lawyers, we will guide you through the process of setting up an LPA and advise you on any additional steps necessary to protect your affairs and personal interest in the event that you become unable to make important decisions yourself. We will therefore be involved in the initial process of advising you about LPA’s, preparing your LPAs as well as advising you on the registration process.
In some cases, we may also be appointed as your attorney, often with a family member of close friend to ensure that your rights and best interests are continually protected.
If you become unable to manage your own affairs, your loved ones would need to apply to the Court of Protection to appoint someone to take over. You won’t have a say in who is chosen, and during this period, your loved ones will not be able to handle your bills or expenses. This process is expensive, stressful, and time-consuming, which is why setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney is a preferable solution. However, if you do need to go through the Court of Protection, our expert team is here to help you navigate this challenging process.
The Court of Protection is a specialist court which is responsible for people who lack the mental capacity to manage their own property and affairs or to make decisions about their own welfare.
There are lots of reasons why someone may lack capacity to include mental ill health, dementia, serious brain injury, learning difficulties or other disability.
The Court of Protection is of great importance as it exists to safeguard vulnerable people and can, through the Mental Capacity Act, make orders about personal welfare as well as property and finances.
The act has a strict code which needs to be adhered to by all involved in the management of the vulnerable person’s welfare.
It’s a huge responsibility and can be very overwhelming if you’ve no experience of acting on behalf of someone else. Our multi-cultural lawyers in UK are able to give you the advice you need to manage someone else’s affairs, property and money in their best interests. We can also completely take this burden away from you and handle the whole process ourselves.
