Local authorities often find themselves in the situation whereby an individual, living within their jurisdiction, lacks the mental capacity to manage their own financial affairs.

To complicate matters, these individuals often have no existing appointed attorney, or anyone able or willing to be appointed as a deputy to make decisions on their behalf.
