Anyone who has ever dealt with the Court of Protection knows that it needs a massive kick up the bottom to move it back into the confrontational world of the High Court, where it once gloried in the title of "In Lunacy". The prevailing culture thoroughly wet and no deterrent to wrongdoers. If we really wanted to make this safe we would make it a very high jump or a very long drop for those attorneys who stole money. If we wanted there to be an actual deterrent then we would adopt the annual accounts suggestion, which could be in a simplified form and have to be held and updated online. The Govt is however right to have a system by which people can be well prepared for a stroke or some other catastrophe. The balance between making it too restrictive and too easy is a very difficult one and that applies across all legislation. As for Judge Lush, let's hope he enjoys his retirement. Having sorted out the machinations of 6000 thieving relative cases, he frankly deserves it. All you an do in re attorneys is your best and pick which relatives you trust.
