I've received a notice of COP application

[BonnesVacances]

I posted a while back about my uncle who'd stolen some money from my DGM's bank account (as he was a joint account holder) a few days after he found out my DM had registered LPA for health and wealth.

I've now received (as DGD) from my uncle's solicitor a COP 15 form and a COP5 acknowledgement of service form. My DM says she had to provide my address (without asking me) and also that I have to appear in court.

Is anyone able to help me with this? It's come out of the blue and I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. Thanks.

What is the COP? In any event, if it is a joint account then he hasn't stolen any money as it is joe t (same as married couples). If it wasn't joint, he should have had the power of attorney?

I take it you've seen this? Not sure that it casts a lot of light.

Hi @BonnesVacances, the Court of Protection deals with lots of different types of applications. Is it clear from the forms what sort of application it is?
You say there’s already an LPA in place so I’m guessing your uncle isn’t applying to be made a deputy.
I think when you apply to the COP you need to give details of anyone who may be interested in / affected by the application. These can then be notified so that they can eg object if necessary.

There should be a phone number for the COP on the notification - might be worth giving them a call?
