There is a waiting period before your power of attorney (PoA) can be processed and returned to you. This week we are working on:
- EPOAR submissions: received on 25 March 2017, 17 week waiting period
- Manual submissions: received around 22 March 2017, 17 week waiting period
If you wish to make a request to have your PoA considered for expedited processing, please email OPG@scotcourts.gov.uk and provide the reason why the case should be prioritised and processed before others currently in the queue.
You should receive a response advising whether the request is granted or refused. If your request is granted the case will be processed within 5 working days. Further information on our expedited process is available.
