Court of Protection & Deputyships
Support for families when a loved one can no longer manage their affairs.
When someone has lost capacity without an LPA in place, a deputy may need to be appointed by the Court of Protection to manage their finances or welfare. We prepare deputyship applications, advise deputies on their duties, and handle related applications such as statutory wills and gifts.
