Deputyship Orders & Court of Protection

When a loved one loses the capacity to make decisions about their financial or personal welfare, it can be a challenging and emotional time. We are here to provide clear guidance and practical support in navigating the complexities of Deputyship Orders and Court of Protection applications.

A Deputyship Order is a legal appointment made by the Court of Protection, granting someone the authority to make decisions on behalf of an individual who lacks mental capacity. This could involve managing finances, paying bills, or making decisions about healthcare and living arrangements. Deputies must comply with legal responsibilities, including maintaining records and submitting annual reports.

We handle the application process, ensuring all forms, medical evidence, and supporting documents are prepared and submitted to the Court of Protection. Also, if you prefer an independent professional to act in the best interests of your loved one, our solicitors can take on this role, ensuring decisions are made with care and transparency.
