Inheritance tax changes: what they mean for your pension
Many clients have inquired about the recent Budget announcements and how the changes to pensions will impact inheritance tax (IHT).
We can assist with your deputyship application to the Court of Protection if you need to help an elderly relative with finances or other aspects of their life.
If an elderly relative needs help managing their finances or other aspects of their life such as health and care, the Court of Protection can empower you to act as their deputy. The Court will decide whether the person has the mental capacity to make decisions about their own welfare, and to what extent the deputy can help with this.
To become a deputy, you need to make an application to the Court of Protection, which will make a decision based upon your application. This can be a long and complicated process and must be presented in a clear and detailed way, which is why it’s advisable to seek expert legal help.
The Court of Protection makes its decision based solely on the application. Our specialist solicitors have wide experience in submitting the applications, and have also been appointed deputies themselves. They are experienced in acting for vulnerable people and managing the finances of people in care, so you can be assured of a sympathetic and professional approach.
