There is a situation such as an enduring power of attorney. There is a special process within the fair deal scheme whereby people can apply to the county registrar in their areas. People can be appointed under the scheme. That process is available and is used regularly when a person is no longer capable of giving instructions. Two medical reports are needed. Applications can be made to the county registrar to appoint people. Enduring power of attorney, once registered, is recognised under the scheme.
