If someone loses capacity without putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place it can be a distressing time for relatives and friends. A ‘Deputy’ might be needed which will involve an application to the Court of Protection, our team can assist with the application process.
Deputyship for Property and Finance
If a Deputy is needed to handle finances it can be anyone who wishes to act in the person’s best interests. If there is no-one willing or able to take on the role then a Professional Deputy can be appointed. Our experienced Partners in this area, act as the Deputies for a number of clients.
Deputyship for Health and Welfare
