Mostly, the appointed Attorney or Deputy are family members, although they can be solicitors or carers. Sometimes family members disagree vehemently with the way in which the Attorney or Deputy is handling the affairs of the person lacking capacity and challenges ensue. If you suspect an Attorney or Deputy of malpractice or misfeasance, we can help family
members to make a legal challenge to the Court of Protection which can result in a hearing taking place and evidence submitted. Where litigation or criminal law is required, we can put you in touch with the right team.
An error of judgement e.g. making a bad investment or ignoring poor financial performance
The act of defrauding someone who lacks capacity is a criminal offence and can lead to prison for up to 5 years. Similarly, if the person is mistreated or neglected this can also lead to a custodial sentence.
