When you and your co-decision-maker apply to register a co-decision-making agreement, you must tell certain people, such as your spouse or civil partner and adult children. These people are called your notice parties. You must also give them a copy of the agreement. The notice parties have five weeks from the date you have given notice to them to challenge the registration of the agreement. This is called ‘objecting to’ the agreement. There are specific reasons for making an objection.
When we receive an objection, we will review it. If we believe there are good grounds for the objection, we may decide that the co-decision-making agreement should not be registered.
