What is the Court of Protection

The Court of Protection handles a wide range of issues, including determining who should manage a person’s affairs if they haven’t established a lasting power of attorney.

To seek assistance from the Court of Protection, an application must be submitted.

What is a Deputyship?

A Deputyship is a legal appointment granted by the Court of Protection that allows an individual to make decisions on behalf of someone who lacks the mental capacity to do so themselves. This could be in relation to managing finances, property.

There are two main types of Deputyships:

Property and Financial Affairs Deputyship: This allows you to manage the financial aspects of the person’s life, including paying bills, managing bank accounts, and making decisions regarding their property and investments.
Health and Welfare Deputyship: This gives you the authority to make decisions about their healthcare, living arrangements, and overall well-being. The court can appoint a deputy to take healthcare and personal care decisions, though this is relatively rare.
