Funds in Court assists the Senior Master, who is an Associate Judge of the Court, in administering and investing funds in Court for people who are under a legal disability. A person is under a legal disability if they:
- are under 18 years old, or
- have a disability that makes it hard to manage a lump sum of money.
The Senior Master becomes the “legal owner” of the funds, holding them in trust for these people. The staff at Funds in Court provide a range of services to support the Senior Master and the administration of funds.
