As we grow older we might become concerned for our ability to effectively manage our finances, taxes, our assets and estate. With the onset of dementia, or in the aftermath of accidents or clinical negligence, some people can no longer effectively manage their own affairs.
The Court of Protection is the judicial body responsible for assisting people in this situation, so that they cannot be exploited or denied what is rightfully theirs. The Court of Protection also regulates those people approved to look after their financial affairs. As age expectancy goes up, so does the incidence of conditions like dementia, which is expected to rise to approximately 850,000 cases in the UK by 2010. These are the kinds of people who benefit from Court of Protection.
We can advise and assist with a range of circumstances which affect those under the Court Of Protection's jurisdiction.
