Wards of Court

In the unfortunate case that a person loses their mental capacity, a Ward of Court may be appointed (usually a family member or next of kin) to take control of their financial affairs and other matters which may need to be dealt with for their benefit. 

The process by which someone is appointed a Ward of Court begins by submitting an application with a solicitor who will represent the client and make the case before the High Court. 

J.G. Skinner and Co can assist with the process of seeking to be appointed as a Ward of Court, offering a professional, reliable legal service with the utmost confidentiality.
