Deputyship & Court of Protection

In short — We help you apply for a Deputyship Order through the Court of Protection, support you in your role as Deputy, and can act as Professional Deputy.

If someone loses mental capacity without any LPAs in place, it may be necessary to apply for a Deputyship Order through the Court of Protection. A Deputyship Order lets you manage financial and personal matters on behalf of the person who has lost capacity, who may be a close friend or loved one.

We can help you with:

  • Completing Mental Capacity Assessments and understanding when to make LPAs or when Deputyship may be necessary instead
  • Applying for a Deputyship Order through the Court of Protection
  • Support in your role as Deputy — explaining your responsibilities and being there whenever you need help during your time as Deputy
  • Acting as a Professional Deputy to safeguard the best interests of the person who has lost capacity
  • Other Court of Protection matters, such as seeking court approval to sell a property or make gifts on behalf of the person who has lost capacity
