Enduring Power of Attorney and Court Order under Part II of the Mental Health Ordinance

Transcription

1 Enduring Power of Attorney and Court Order under Part II of the Mental Health Ordinance Introduction Reverse mortgage is a life-time loan arrangement which provides you with an additional financial planning option to improve your quality of life. As we get older, we will gradually experience varying degrees of deterioration in physical strength and cognitive ability. To avoid any interruption to your reverse mortgage due to mental incapacity, it may be advisable to consider taking certain precautionary measures so that you can enjoy peace of mind and need not worry about your financial affairs. One of the options which you may consider is to procure an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) under the Enduring Powers of Attorney Ordinance. An EPA operates like a general power of attorney in that you, as the donor, may appoint someone, as your attorney, to handle your financial affairs, including your reverse mortgage. For more information about EPA, please refer to the Enduring Powers of Attorney (General Information) leaflet prepared by the Department of Justice ( If you have not arranged for an EPA, in the event you have lost your mental capacity, those taking care of you may need to apply to the High Court for an Order under Part II of the Mental Health Ordinance (Court Order) in order to handle your financial affairs. Professional services required for EPA and Court Order Medical service To arrange for an EPA, a medical practitioner will need to be engaged to sign the certificate by registered medical practitioner contained in the EPA. Such medical practitioner can be any registered medical practitioners in Hong (such as your family doctor). In relation to an application for a Court Order, two medical certificates are required for the application to the High Court, and one of which must be issued by an Approved Doctor. You may approach your family doctor, or find a suitable registered medical practitioner / Approved Doctor through the following websites: List of registered medical practitioner maintained by The Medical Council of Hong List of family physicians maintained by The Hong College of Family Physicians List of private psychiatrists (Approved Doctors in private practice) maintained by The Hong College of Psychiatrists w 1
