Tilly Bailey & Irvine Solicitors in Teesside explains why so many carers of vulnerable people opt to appoint a professional deputy to look after their financial affairs.
A deputy is a person that looks after the financial affairs of a vulnerable person mentally incapable of handling it themselves.
Professional deputies undertake the same role, but are qualified solicitors with extensive experience in such matters. They are governed by the Office of the Public Guardian and are held to a high standard in terms of the decisions they make. Partners at Tilly Bailey & Irvine LLP hold a significant number of professional deputy positions and have done so for many decades, making them experts in the field with significant experience.
Anna Davies: Power of attorney lessons from Kate Garraway s struggle
Power of attorney explained
Anna Davies: The Covid-19 pandemic has, unfortunately, highlighted the practical and emotional difficulties family members face when their loved ones have lost capacity to act for themselves, but there is no power of attorney in place.

Anna Davies explains the intricacies and importance of power of attorney, something advisers may wish to pass on during client conversations.
Whilst many people appreciate the importance of having a will to deal with arrangements on death, the importance of having a power of attorney to deal with the position when a person loses capacity during their lifetime is often underestimated.
Hawaii Supreme Court Ends Pandemic-Related Early Prisoner Release
As state and local governments across the United States ease pandemic-related restrictions, the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii has decided to end a program that allowed for the release of low-level inmates early in hopes of controlling the spread of COVID-19 in the Aloha State’s detention facilities.
The three-page ruling ending judicial oversight of the jails came on April 16. The vote was 4–1.
The order also ended the temporary prohibition on judges imposing bail on defendants charged with certain low-level offenses.
Concerned about a viral breakout at Oahu Community Correctional Center, the Office of the Public Defender filed a petition with the court Aug. 12, 2020, seeking the expedited release of certain categories of inmates at Hawaii’s community correctional centers and facilities. At that time, “the pandemic’s trajectory remained uncertain and vaccinations were not available.”

Justice Mustapha Tijani of the National Industrial Court in Lagos has ordered the management of Nahman Construction Limited to pay its worker, Muraina Taiwo, the sum of N1.5m as compensation.
It was gathered that Taiwo sometime in September 2015 had an accident while working as a labourer at the firm’s site at the Landmark Event Centre.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Taiwo was rushed to hospital, where surgery was performed on his leg, after the firm paid the bill.
It was learnt that the firm refused to pay for a second surgery after the hospital informed it of the need to correct the injury to his knees and also refused to pay Taiwo’s salary despite not terminating his employment.

There’s an old picture of Kaanapali Beach that continues to amaze me. The black and white picture depicts a lonely, wide strip of golden sand sloping down into the clear waters between Maui and Molokai. Sparse clusters of swaying coconut trees are the only thing on the beach with Pu’u Keka’a, where Native Hawaiians believed spirits of the dead leapt into the afterlife.
The amazing part is what you don’t see. No one is in the photo. It’s completely devoid of people, pavement and resorts. The first hotel built at Black Rock was the Sheraton Maui Hotel in 1963. Others followed. Over the decades Kaanapali became a bustling place for vacationers to snorkel, shop and get a sunburn.
