Manage a missing person's finances and property
Who can apply
You can apply if you’re the missing person’s:
- husband, wife or civil partner
- parent
- child
- brother or sister
- guardian already and you’re renewing the order
You can also apply if you can give the court evidence that you have a ‘sufficient interest’ in the person’s finances or property. This might be, for example, because:
- you have been in a relationship for a long time with the person and you live with them
- the person is your business partner and you need to continue to run the business
- you are the person’s step-parent, step-sibling or step-child
The longer you’ve known the person and the better you know them, the easier it will be for you to convince the court that you have ‘sufficient interest’.
You must be over 18 to apply.
