Mental Capacity Act
How the Act will affect existing arrangements
If you are a receiver for someone who lacks capacity:
- you will retain your powers after October 2007 but will be treated as a deputy, appointed by the new Court of Protection. The Public Guardianship Office will contact all current receivers so that the necessary administration arrangements can be made. You do not need to contact us.
If you have made an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) or are acting on someone’s behalf under an EPA:
- it will still be valid after October 2007, even if it is not yet registered, unless the person who made the EPA decides to destroy it and replace it with a Lasting Power of Attorney instead.
