Controller or Power of Attorney?
In Northern Ireland what is the difference between a Controller and a Power of Attorney? The Controller has been appointed by the Office of Care and Protection to look after the financial affairs of a mentally ill person, but should they not apply for Attorney?

Power of Attorney is something granted by the person to whom it applies.
If they have lost capacity, then they cannot grant a Power of Attorney, nor can anyone apply for it on their behalf.
In this event the OCP will appoint a Controller (in England and Wales he would be called a Deputy) to do much the same as the Attorney would. There may well be a greater degree of supervision of his actions.
