Court of Protection Applications Solicitor / Lawyer

Solicitud ante el Tribunal de Protección

El Tribunal de Protección se ocupa de la propiedad, los asuntos financieros y el bienestar personal de las personas que carecen de capacidad mental para tomar esas decisiones por sí mismas.

Podemos ayudarle con todo tipo de solicitudes ante el Tribunal de Protección, incluyendo pero no limitado a:

Diputado

If a person lacks the capacity to make a Lasting Poder de representación or to manage their affairs then an application can be made to the Court of Protection for someone to be appointed to make decisions on their behalf and we can assist with this. We can also help deputies submit an annual report to the Office of the Public Guardian explaining the decisions taken in the past year.

Decisiones puntuales

If you wish to obtain authority to make a decision for a person who lacks capacity you can apply to the Court of Protection for a one-off order. This could be necessary where it is desired to make a gift to reduce their inheritance tax liability, to request payment for family care or authority in relation to particular medical treatment.

Aplicaciones de la Ley fiduciaria

If a propiedad is jointly owned and one owner lacks the capacity to participate in a sale and does not have Lasting Power of Attorney in place, an application may need to be made for them to be replaced as a trustee so that the property can be sold. This would not affect their benefit entitlement.

Statutory Will

Si una persona no tiene capacidad mental para hacer testamento y usted considera que no le conviene que la herencia se distribuya con arreglo al testamento existente o a las disposiciones sobre sucesión intestada, puede solicitar al Tribunal de Protección que se haga un testamento legal en su nombre.
