Power of Attorney, Guardianship and Incapacity
· Power of Attorney: A Power of Attorney gives a trusted person the ability to make decisions on your behalf and is a vital part of planning for old age. This person can be given appropriate powers to manage your care and medical treatment as well as your financial affairs as and when required. If you're not sure if you need a power of attorney - why not click here for additional information.
· Guardianship: As well as preparing Power of Attorney deeds, TC Young also assists relatives applying to be guardians (either welfare or financial or both) for loved ones who have already lost the capability to grant a Power of Attorney. This is a complicated and lengthy procedure which requires co-ordination of medical and mental health reports together with attention to detail to prepare the court action.

· Adults with Incapacity: Dementia affects approximately 60,000 people in Scotland and the figure is expected to increase by 75% in less than 25 years. Managing the affairs of a loved one with incapacity can be a complex and stressful time. Recognising this, our Private Client department has a significant involvement in the areas of law that affect adults with incapacity and mental health issues.
TC Young was appointed to Glasgow City Council’s approved panel of solicitors in relation to Adults with Incapacity cases in early 2010. Private Client partner Lesley Hurst is also on Glasgow Sheriff Court’s list of Safeguarders, appointed by the Sheriff to represent the interests of the incapacitated adult in court.
TC Young has numerous connections with charities and privately funded organisations, including national bodies, who support elderly clients or those with physical, mental or learning difficulties. If appropriate we can put you in touch with these organisations for support.
