Many attorneys do not realise they may need authority from the Court of Protection before they make gifts, maintain others or invest in tax planning products. This session will consider:
- When is it reasonable to make a gift under s.12 MCA
- The limits of making gifts
- The de minimus exception
- When is maintenance not a gift?
- When does investing in a tax planning product need court approval
- Preliminary considerations
- Evidence in support and the court’s approach
