Cross-Border Financial Management in Deputyship - Practical Insights

Introduction

As professional property and affairs Deputies appointed by the Court of Protection in England and Wales, we are increasingly being asked to advise on and manage financial matters that extend to other jurisdictions.

In today’s globalised world, Deputies are more frequently involved in cases where clients domiciled in the UK hold assets overseas, or where a client is relocating to, or returning from, a foreign jurisdiction. These cross-border issues raise a host of practical, legal, and procedural considerations.

This webinar will explore those challenges and consider the day-to-day practicalities of managing property and financial affairs across jurisdictions. It will examine how Deputies can approach foreign asset management, international cooperation, and the recognition of deputyship in other countries.

To support the discussion, the webinar will also draw on recent caselaw that illustrates the evolving nature of cross-border deputyship work. Real-life case studies will be shared to highlight how these issues are being managed in practice and offer practical insights for those navigating similar matters.
