| Annotation | Written for relatives, friends and carers, this leaflet describes the arrangements that must be made to help with, or take over, the management of someone else's affairs. The leaflet deals with four main issues: what the law says about mental capacity and decision-making; ways of arranging to deal with someone's financial affairs; decisions about someone's healthcare; and what to do if abuse of a vulnerable person is suspected. This leaflet has now been discontinued. The reader is referred to the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) (http://www.publicguardian.gov.uk/) for further information on this topic. (RH). |
