Most Attorneys and deputys act with integrity, some don’t.
The authority granted to an attorney gives them managment over someone’s finances and health issues.
This is what can go wrong
- Fail to carry out their duties.
- Exploit or abuse the vulnerable adult.
- Fail to act in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 principles.
- Fail to comply with requirements of a court order.
To challenge them we need evidence they have; acted, are acting, or propose to act in way which is not in the vulnerable adults best interests. Call us to discuss this further to protect vulnerable adult.
