Making Decisions

Thinking about the future life of someone with a disability when you are no longer around to support them is one of the most difficult things, practically and emotionally.

However it is important to face this challenge as decisions may need to be made regarding where they will live, how they may be supported, how their finances will be managed and who will be responsible for keeping an eye on things.

We'll look at:

• Shared decision-making: involving your relative in making decisions.
• 'Best interests decisions’.
• Challenging decisions.
• Involving other people in decision-making.
• Other people who have authority to make decisions (Lasting Power of Attorney and Court of Protection).

Who's it for?

• Buyer’s with limited mental capacity for completing a mortgage application, shared ownership lease or property purchase.
• Families who need more say or who want to be able to challenge decisions including those made by their Local Authority.
• Anyone who needs to ‘fast track’ registered Lasting Power of Attorney or Court Appointed Deputyship in cases where a property needs to be purchased more quickly. We can do this at a fraction of the normal cost of a solicitor too.

Key Deliverables

• Timely collation and completion of the appropriate forms to secure Lasting Power of Attorney or Court Appointed Deputyship.

Cost

• £450 - £950
