Hi,

My parents own a 3rm flat , my father is in dementia stage, we are aware that a lawyer is needed to do the necessary documentation before we can sell the flat, I would like to know what is the estimated legal fee we will need to pay and how long the process will take?

Thank you.

Hi,

It appears he has not done an LPA, hence you might have to apply to the courts to be appointed a Deputy to manage his affairs. Estimated fees and processing time is on a case-by-case basis, as there are certain conditions to prove that he has no the mental capacity to manage his property. Its more advisable to speak to a law firm on the best approach.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Good afternoon,

Based on your father's mental condition, you will need to work with doctor to obtain medical report and lawyer to obtain the court order under the Mental Capacity Act. Someone, likely the child or spouse would be appointed as the sponsor, so as to take care of your father's decision and daily necessity. The entire process would take around 4 to 7 months, depending on the doctor's diagnostic and the content of the court order.

Do feel free to contact me should you require additional assistance.

Dear sir/madam,

I am currently handling a case which is similar to your description where my client has been appointed as deputy to execute the sales of the property. Perhaps I can direct you to the appropriate channel on how to get about things done more efficiently instead of potentially running round the circle?

Hi there, We have just completed a similar case whereby one of the owner is suffering from dementia. the whole process took about half a year in order for the court order to be granted and the option to be issued and exercised. Do drop us a call for a more detailed explanation on what is needed to be done as well as the timeline for the whole process. Thanks
