Managing affairs for someone else

Do you need information about managing someone else’s affairs?  You might also want someone else to manage your affairs for you?

“Managing someone else’s affairs can mean a number of things, including:

  • looking after their bank accounts, savings, investments or other financial affairs
  • buying and selling property on their behalf
  • claiming and spending welfare  benefits on their behalf
  • deciding where they live
  • making decisions about their day-to-day personal care or health care

You might want to manage someone else’s affairs because they:

  • are ill or disabled, either temporarily or on a long-term basis
  • are out of the country for a while
  • are unable to make decisions for themselves, because of mental illness or other reasons.”
