CAPACITY ISSUES FOR DEPUTYSHIP PROFESSIONALS
Estimated length of event: 1 hr 30 mins
In our next instalment of Deputyship Development events, we look at capacity issues, the capacity to make gifts and to litigate. We will also assess what a Trust is and why would you make a trust for your client. Finally, we are looking into why a Property and Affairs Deputy needs to be aware of DOLS orders, specifically that of Sec21a orders.
Learning Objectives:
- What is a trust and why a client may need one in place.
- How to approach a Trust application: the process and what needs to be put in place
- Awareness of how to approach litigation issues with a client who lacks capacity
- Making gifts: what rules are in place to ensure they are appropriate?
- Deprivation of Liberty: when a client wants to leave care and why a Sec 21a is important in this process.
