This covers disputes about attorneys appointed under lasting powers of attorney or enduring powers of attorney, and challenges to how they administer a donor’s affairs. It also includes matters where someone questions the validity, scope or behaviour of an attorney, and when decisions made by an attorney are being reviewed or contested. The solicitor’s work involves testing the authority of the attorney, gathering and presenting evidence of mismanagement or abuse, and guiding the client through remedies with the Office of the Public Guardian or the Court of Protection.
Where a solicitor protects your position
Disputes can involve removal or replacement of an attorney, supervision or directions to an attorney, assessments of capacity, and the need to account for or recover funds. A solicitor helps prepare applications to the Court of Protection, or interactions with the Office of the Public Guardian to secure proper oversight, and advises on remedies to protect the donor’s interests when irreversible or time-critical decisions are at stake.
