Frequently Asked Questions
My loved one has lost the mental capacity to make their own decisions. I want to be appointed their power of attorney. Can you do this?
Take your loved one to see their GP. The GP will decide whether the person is able to make a decision about appointing you as their attorney. If the doctor says “Yes”, get their opinion in writing, make an appointment to see us and bring the person in to give us their instructions. If the doctor says that your loved can no longer make this decision, you can apply to the Family Court for an Order appointing you as the persons Welfare Guardian and Property Manager. Make an appointment for you to talk to us about this process.
Do you take legal aid clients?
Yes. We accept legal aid clients for criminal and all family court matters (except relationship property disputes).
How do I apply for legal aid?
We will assist you to complete an application for legal aid if your case is a Family Court one.
