answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>When a solicitor’s firm is closed voluntarily, it should make arrangements with its clients regarding any ongoing work, and to arrange for the return of clients' papers and money. If the firm is closed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the Authority will appoint Intervention Agents to deal with the firm and contact all of its clients.</p><p> </p><p>The closure of a firm will not of itself invalidate the ongoing appointment of any of its members as an attorney. The appointment of an attorney is personal to that individual. It is a matter for the donor at any time to remove the attorney, if they still have capacity, or for the Court of Protection. If the donor wished, the appointment would remain even if the attorney moved to another firm.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 17/07/2017 17:01:43 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
