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
