Deputyship Solicitor
In ideal cases, your loved one will have set up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). However, in cases where there is no LPA, you should apply to the Court of Protection to become a Deputy. Being a Deputy allows you to make decisions on your loved one’s behalf. Depending on the circumstances, a family member or close friend could be a Deputy. However, if this is not appropriate, it might be a professional person, such as a solicitor.
Our Court of Protection solicitors will take the time to fully understand your and your loved one’s situation, ensuring that your Deputyship application is completed to the highest standard, your wishes are met, and you are fully supported.
