Specialist Support
Ensuring protection and your best interestsThe Court of Protection unit is a specialist unit dedicated to dealing with the management of the property and financial affairs together with health and welfare decisions of people who lack the ability to deal with this themselves.
Our unit is one of only a few dedicated units nationally with a unique multi-disciplinary team drawing on legal, social and financial knowledge.
We work closely with families and carers and ensure that the pressures and additional stresses of looking after the individuals personal finances are removed. We ensure that contact and liaison is maintained and decisions taken by us are understood.
We understand the importance of establishing personal relationships. This is vital in ensuring that the right decisions and suitable provision for future long term needs are made.
This cross section of experience is vital in ensuring that we comply with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and in the best interest of the client every time a decision is made. Careful consideration is given to the financial, social and welfare issues as well as legal matters.
It will often be necessary to deal with the sale or purchase of property, the making of wills and family law matters. The unit liaises with legal experts throughout the Hugh James to ensure that any specialist legal issues that arise are dealt with appropriately and efficiently.
