Is it possible to legally remove all legal rights your parents have over you?

This is a joke right?

What legal rights are they trying to have removed?

Parents have no rights over children after 18, that's what being an "adult" means. "Next of kin" has no legal meaning in the UK except for mental health purposes.

This person is 27. If they don't like their parents, don't speak to them.

If they need help supporting themselves speak to social services.

I realise I should be compassionate here, but to hell with that... your friend just needs to forget his family and move on. Accept they are going to be terrible and get on with your life. Maybe one day they will

However, given that said person seems to think they need to remove the parents rights... I would suggest that person is not er... quite in the right frame of mind (to put it politely). Stretch put it plainly "This person is 27. If they don't like their parent, don't speak to them".

It must be pretty terrible being in a hostel etc, I hope they can come out on top.
 
what rights does your friend think his/her parents have over them?

as people have said, they have none.
as a precaution make a legal doc so the parents dont get to switch off a machine if they get ill and write a will without them in it - thats about it.

The MHA refers to Nearest Relative rather than Next of Kin, also this is the case with Intestacy..when there is no Will...Next of Kin, while it has no legal definition is often just a term used in the stead of Nearest Relative...in the case of the OP, Nearest Relative (or NoK) would potentially be the person they no longer wish to have any legal connection to..this would require a Will or Statement of Wishes..and in the case of MHA, an application to the Court (if required).

The OP doesn't make it clear if the person has diagnosed Mental Health Issues, or whether the Parents have a Lasting Power of Attorney, which would require a Court to rule on if the person wished to be released from or have the LPA issued to someone else, like The State.

Other than that, the Parents have very little rights to exert, so, like you say..just ignore them.

I thought he/she is a tramp? What exactly is he/she worried about his/her parents having rights over?

LOL at people suggesting a solicitor. For what? to write up a will for a toothbrush?

And said person needs to grow up. If my offspring decided to come back to me as a 27 year old tramp I'd be well ****ed off.

You should tell her they have no rights as she is an adult.

But i'm confused how did the guy owning the accommodation defraud her? (this you need to look into as i doubt you will explain in detail but sounds like it includes boxing stance)

Glad I got the info needed before the children came into the thread. Maybe one day some of you, and I hope you don't, will experience what it is like to have your life torn down around you only to be exploited by those you trust most.

Removing next of kin rights may not seem like such a big deal and sweeping comments such as "If they don't like their parents, don't speak to them." (Post #22 "Stretch") emphasise the fact many of the recent posters do not and probably cannot grasp how much a person can want to disconnect themselves from another human being.

As it stands right now, as an example, if my friend where to say have a mental episode and wind up in a psychiatric care facility, their parents would now hold full rights to their health treatment. This can be further extended to situations of life of death in which their parents could, and I admit it's a stretch of the imagination, remove life support. Even unlikely events such as this can still haunt a persons mind, always showing that these people have some form of power over them no matter how far away they are or how little communication they have with them.

I don't expect many of the immature crowd on this forum to understand that, and in a way I wish you never have to. My thanks again for those contributing with useful information.

Something doesn't add up here. Stable people don't tend to steal, stalk, aggress and do "unspeakable acts" against others out of the blue.Your friend clearly appears to have some sort of mental health issues which wouldn't surprise me came from the treatment from her parent's.... who she "trust the most".

You were keen to protect their identity on here but didn't protect them from jumping into a vipers nest... this is all a little strange.

I must admit I don't know the full intricacies of what happens behind closed doors, all I know for sure is I have a friend in need and I don't have much in the way of an answer for them. Their state of mind and reasoning for asking such questions is not not mine to judge. All I can do is try to find the best solution that allows them to continue on with life and move away from the place they are at right now, if that means helping them remove what they do not want in their life then that is what I shall do to the best of my ability no matter the ridicule some might throw my way.

On your last point I could never have expected their parents to do what they have done, who would?
