Making deputyship applications to the Court of Protection

If an individual lacks the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, such as their property and financial investments and does not have a power of attorney in place, making a deputyship application to the Court of Protection can enable you to protect their interests on their behalf.

Whether you are caring for a vulnerable adult, child or elderly relative, it is important to seek legal advice when making deputyship applications.

Approach

As deputyship applications are often confusing and time-consuming, we will support you through the process from beginning to end, helping you to overcome any challenges and providing you with expert assistance in a compassionate, caring and sensitive manner.

Alternatively, we can provide a professional Court of Protection deputy and make the application on your behalf. We have found that this can minimise friction between family members at what can be a difficult and emotional point in their lives.

“Words cannot express how much help and support Kirpal has been to me over the last five years. I just wished I had approached her and Flint Bishop when I first needed the advice and representation, not coming to you so many years later when things went awry. Kirpal has been truly wonderful and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.”
