Lasting Powers of Attorney
Our October CPD presentation: THE AGE OF UNREASON Vulnerable clients; understanding capacity and powers of attorney – As the world grows richer and older mental illness is becoming more common. Understanding how to provide a service to those with limited capacity is vital for you and your businesses, whether you are providing insurance or financial products. A presentation by Sharon Richardson, Director Solicitor and Belinda Poulter, Associate Solicitor of Crombie Wilkinson on behalf of the Insurance Institute of York. Overview Diseases of the mind are best understood as something that a large minority of people can expect to experience at some point in their lives. However, mental illness does not remove their need for financial protection for their possession or liabilities or the need to have financial products. You have to understand the limitations of their capacity, who is supporting and helping them and whether they have the legal capacity to enter into a contract. If a client lacks capacity the responsibility on advisers is greater and how the public views our profession will be based on the quality of the advice and guidance this vulnerable group receive.
