Many disputes can be resolved without formal proceedings, particularly when mediation is used to encourage open discussions and practical solutions. This approach often helps to preserve relationships and minimise stress.
Where there are concerns about financial mismanagement or neglect, further investigation may be necessary to make sure the vulnerable person’s assets and welfare are properly safeguarded. If these issues remain unresolved or require more decisive intervention, an application to the Court of Protection may be required.
The process begins with identifying specific concerns and gathering any necessary evidence. From there, the required documentation is prepared and submitted to the Court of Protection. In some cases, hearings may be necessary to reach a resolution. Throughout this process, having experienced legal support can make all the difference.
