HealthCare Law

Have you been asked to arrange welfare guardian or property management orders for a loved one?

Supporting someone who has developed dementia / lost mental capacity and does not have enduring powers of attorney may mean that Family Court orders are required.

When a person has a lack of capacity and they are moving into rest home or dementia care it is often necessary for family to arrange welfare guardian and property orders. Other personal orders may be required in some circumstances.
