Guardianship Angel
Welfare and financial guardianship applications in Scotland involve strict deadlines, complex court forms and constant liaison with medical professionals.
For AWI practitioners, the administrative burden detracts from client facing work.
I manage the entire guardianship application process - instruction of reports, document preparation, and court liaison, so you can focus on supporting your clients.
What I do:
- Instruct medical and mental health officer reports
- Serve papers and manage Royal Mail tracking
- Prepare Forms 20, 21, 22 and certificates of citation
- Lodge documents with the court and confirm receipt
- Track deadlines and flag upcoming milestones
- Liaise with court clerks to resolve queries

Why work with me?
Deadline certainty — Guardianship applications have fixed statutory timescales. I track every deadline and confirm each lodgement, so your applications progress without delay.
Process expertise — I understand the court's requirements and common rejection triggers. Forms are completed correctly first time, reducing back-and-forth with the court.
Dedicated focus — Unlike internal staff juggling multiple duties, I concentrate solely on guardianship administration. Your applications get full attention without competing priorities.
