How to Appoint a Care Representative?
To appoint a care representative, an application must be made to the Courts. The applicant is usually a family member and other family members need to give their consent. 2 medical reports are required in a particular format that are exhibited in the application.
Who Can Become a Care Representative?
The care representative will have authority to consent to a nursing home loan in respect of the individuals land or property, if they are too unwell to make the application themselves. The contribution, which is currently up to a maximum of 7.5% of the value of land/property, is deferred until the death of the person requiring the nursing home care. In certain circumstances, it can be deferred even further into the future.
