Has anyone had experience of e-mailing Court of Protection forms to their office?
If so, what format did you use for the completed documents and did the COP office specify any preference for the format of the documents? As far as I can see there are two file options or a combination of both:-
1 Scanned jpegs in a zipped folder with one jpeg per page sheet. Scanning every sheet would be very time consuming.
2 Individual jpegs converted into one pdf document for each COP form.
Obviously the signatures have to be included on the documents. It was easy to add my signature to my Deputy Declaration COP4 document from a scanned signature and it would be possible to do this for the other proposed deputy.
Unfortunately for the Application form, COP1, pdf document it seems impossible to insert the signature from jpeg images in the same way (possibly because two signatures are required) and I have had to create an ID which is OK, but I will also have to do the same for the other proposed deputy on the same document. I should imagine it is the same for the COP4 form as well.
The COP3 form that has been signed by the GP has been scanned into 12 separate jpeg documents anyway so that would have to be sent as such in a zipped folder regardless of the what format is used for the other documents. Alternatively it could be converted into one pdf document.
Many thanks.
