When a person becomes unable to manage his or her assets because of mental incapacity, an application can be made to the courts for them to become a Ward of Court.
The court must make a decision as to whether the person is capable of managing their own property for their own benefit and the benefit of their dependants. If it is decided that the person cannot manage their own property because of mental incapacity a Committee is appointed to control the assets on the Ward's behalf.
