Court of Protection

If a person does not have a Lasting Power of Attorney or an Enduring Power of Attorney in place and no longer have capacity to manage their own affairs then an application will need to be made to the Court of Protection for a Deputy Order.

 A deputy is similar to an attorney but a deputy is closely supervised by the Court, are required to prepare annual reports and unlike under a Lasting Power of Attorney or Enduring Power of Attorney there are ongoing costs associated with a deputyship order. 

Our experienced team have a wealth of experience in making applications for deputyship orders and will be able to give you the relevant advice,  prepare all the necessary paperwork, liaise with doctors or other professionals to progress the application and to help advise you about the likely chances of success of an order being granted by the court.
