A&B own a property as joint tenants. They have both lost capacity and are both now in residential care. We have been instructed by A’s daughter and B’s nephew to make separate deputyship applications for each of them respectively - it is a second marriage. The property will have to be sold to pay for their care but I am confused about the requirements to facilitate the sale. The COP guidance note on the sale of jointly owned property states that applications for the appointment of a new trustee for real property can be divided into two main categories - those where there is an existing and capable co-owner and those where the incapable person is the only surviving trustee but it does not mention the scenario where both have become incapable. Do we need to make separate applications for the appointment of trustees to sell the property? If so, can the trustees be the proposed deputies or not?
