In New Zealand, PPPR applications refer to proceedings under the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988 (PPPR Act). This legislation is designed to protect vulnerable individuals who cannot manage their personal or financial affairs due to incapacity.

At Brintyn Smith Barrister, we can provide legal assistance for clients navigating the PPPR Act both in and out of Court.

Our services include:

• Legal Advice: We help clients understand the PPPR Act, including the process of applying for personal orders and appointing property administrators or managers, and welfare guardians.

• Court Applications: We assist in preparing and drafting court applications, ensuring accurate submission of all necessary documentation and evidence.

• Representation: We will appear with you in the Family Court.

• Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPOA): We help draft and sign Enduring Powers of Attorney that appoint both care and welfare and/or property attorneys. We will ensure that they reflect your wishes and comply with legal requirements. We can also assist with reviewing and updating existing arrangements.
