People are living longer than ever. Unfortunately, some of the elderly are unable to administer their own affairs without assistance. Those who foresee the problem can choose who they want to help by executing a Lasting Power of Attorney.
If an individual fails to execute a Lasting Power of Attorney, in the event of their mental incapacity, an application is made on their behalf to the Court of Protection. This process is arduous and the receiver who is appointed will be obliged to report to the court on an ongoing basis.
Fortunately, help is at hand. Our wills and probate team can provide expert advice on Court of Protection matters.
For a quality, caring service, choose Macks.
