The Court of Protection is an office of the High Court in
London, which looks after the affairs of people who, as a result of
some mental disorder are no longer able to manage their own
affairs. A person called a receiver is appointed to deal with all
financial matters. The Court, through the Public Guardianship
Office, supervises the receiver and makes orders detailing the
powers of the receiver.
We list here some of the circumstances when is it necessary to
make an application:
- if a person is incapable of managing their affairs due to their
mental incapacity
- there is no lasting power of attorney and the person is not
capable of making one due to their lack of mental capacity
- a person has assets that need to be used for their benefit
- a person has assets over £10,000
We are able to provide help and advice about applications to the
Court of Protection for the following:
- the appointment of a receiver
- making gifts
- making Wills
- seeing awards from personal injury claims into trusts
