9780752002316: Court of Protection Handbook

Synopsis

This handbook guides practitioners through the Court of Protection, covering all steps to be taken when a person is incapacitated by mental disorder, from the moment of instruction through to the patient's recovery, discharge or death. Adopting a straightforward approach, it examines almost all of the most common issues which might arise, starting with the appointment of a receiver. In 1994 the Public Trust Office became an executive agency, and the precise division of functions between the Court of Protection and the Public Trust Office had to be worked out by new Rules and new procedures. Thus the author defines where "court" means "court" and where it really means "public trustee".
