These Regulations provide for fees to be charged in connection with the functions carried out by Public Guardian under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (c.9) (“the Act”)).
Regulation 8 provides that where the Court of Protection has appointed a deputy under section 16 of the Act the Public Guardian must determine the level of supervision required by section 58(1)(c) of the Act and the level of fee is payable accordingly. The three levels of supervision are type I (highest), type II (lower) and type III (minimal).
Regulation 12 makes an amendment to Form EP1G (Notice of Intention to Apply for Registration of an Enduring Power of Attorney) which forms Schedule 7 of the Lasting Powers of Attorney, Enduring Powers of Attorney and Public Guardian Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/1253).
