Devonalds – Specialist Court of Protection solicitors in Caerphilly

Non-contested property and financial affairs applications

When someone can no longer manage their own financial affairs due to illness, injury, or loss of capacity, the Court of Protection can appoint a deputy to act on their behalf.

Non-contested applications arise where everyone involved agrees on who should take on this role and what responsibilities they will have.

These applications may involve managing savings, paying bills, or making other financial decisions in the person’s best interests.

At Devonalds, we can guide you through the process from start to finish, ensuring your application is handled efficiently, so you can act on your loved one’s behalf.

Applications to appoint a second trustee for the sale of a property

If a property owner loses mental capacity and their home needs to be sold, the Court of Protection often requires a second trustee to be appointed to authorise the sale.

This ensures that the transaction is handled lawfully and that the person’s interests are fully protected.

The second trustee works alongside the existing one to complete the sale and manage the proceeds appropriately.

At Devonalds, we can prepare and manage the necessary application on your behalf, ensuring everything is completed correctly and efficiently, giving you peace of mind that the process is compliant, fair, and transparent.
