What is the Court of Protection?
When someone no longer has the mental capacity to make their own decisions and there is no valid Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) any significant decisions about their finances, property or care must be authorised by the Court of Protection.
Our specialist private wealth solicitors guide families, carers and professionals through this process with care, clarity and efficiency. We ensure your loved one’s affairs are managed properly, lawfully and always in their best interests.
Our Expertise
Deputyship Applications
If someone close to you no longer has capacity and does not have an LPA, we can help you apply to be appointed as their deputy. We assist with both property and financial affairs and health and welfare deputyships, ensuring the application is accurate, complete and supported by the necessary medical evidence.
Ongoing Deputy Support
Once appointed, deputies are responsible for managing the person’s affairs under the Court’s supervision. We provide continuing legal support, including advice on decision making powers, annual reporting duties and compliance with the Office of the Public Guardian’s requirements.
One-Off Court of Protection Applications
We also act in one-off or urgent applications, such as:
- Selling property belonging to someone lacking capacity
- Making gifts or investments on their behalf
- Resolving disputes between family members or professionals
- Seeking authority for medical treatment or care decisions
- Statutory Wills
Disputed Applications & Court Hearings
Our experienced Court of Protection solicitors represent clients in contested cases before the Court of Protection for example, where there is disagreement over who should act as deputy or what decisions are in the person’s best interests. We handle these sensitive matters with discretion and compassion.
