Trustee Act Orders | Wills & Probate

When a property is held in joint names, both people can sign the contract and agree to a sale – but what if one person loses their mental capacity?

In these circumstances, an application needs to be made to the Court of Protection (COP) to have a second trustee appointed to act on behalf of the mentally incapable person and sign on their behalf to agree on the sale.

Our wills and probate solicitors can help guide you through the process to make it as smooth as possible.

Peter maintained professionalism..."
