Filling Cop1a Form Guidance
Summary
To fill out the COP1A form for deputyship, gather financial details like income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. If you lack a Lasting Power of Attorney, apply for Deputyship through the Court of Protection. Contact banks for statements, and if needed, seek an interim order from the Court of Protection. Fees may apply, and organizations like Citizens Advice Bureau, solicitors, and local councils can assist. The Office of the Public Guardian can also provide guidance.Full Conversation
Hi, I'm currently in the process of filling out the forms for property and finances for my mum and I need to fill in the COP1A form regarding finances. I've contacted mum's bank, but they said they can't send me copies of her bank statements, which I need to fill in the form. What do I do?
Hi ****! Here are a few steps you can take:
- Check if you have a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for your mum. This would give you the authority to access her financial information.
- If you don't have an LPA, you may need to apply for a Deputyship through the Court of Protection.
- You can ask the bank if they can provide statements directly to the Court of Protection.
