WHERE THERE IS NO POWER OF ATTORNEY?
On occasions a person can lose their mental capacity before they have a chance to make a Power of Attorney. In this instance most banks and financial institutions will refuse to deal with anybody without an order from the Court of Protection. This is even the case where you are a close family member or next of kin.
If you are in such a situation you may already appreciate it is a lengthy and complex procedure. Fortunately Myer Wolff have expertise in dealing with applications of this nature and can assist you at every step of the process.
We can assist in completing the different application forms for you and obtain the correct medical certificate required by the Court of Protection. We can then make the application to the Court of Protection for you.
Once the application has been submitted we can ensure service is carried out correctly and the correct forms are returned to the Court of Protection.
Finally once the Court of Protection order has been made we can provide advice and assistance with registering your Court of Protection order with financial institutes.
Let us guide you through this difficult process...
