Fixed Fee Deputyship Applications

Fixed Fee Court of Protection Deputyship Applications

Has your loved one or close friend lost capacity to make decisions and did not draw up a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Don't panic! Our specialist Court of Protection team can assist with making an application to the Court of Protection to appoint you and/or somebody else as their Deputy. If you do not wish to be named Deputy, we have a Court of Protection Panel/Professional Deputy who is able to act in these matters, who is one of only 68 specialist Solicitors in England selected by the Court of Protection and Office of the Public Guardian to be a Panel Deputy.

Our dedicated team have been able to help hundreds of families deal with a complex process at an already emotional and stressful time.

What is the Court of Protection?

The Court of Protection is a specialist Court, designed to protect vulnerable people. They make decisions regarding both financial affairs and personal welfare where the individual lacks capacity to make such specific decision.

Deputyship Application Process

Step One - Complete the necessary Court of Protection application forms, including a capacity assessment completed by a qualified individual (e.g. Social Worker or GP).

Step Two - Once the Court of Protection has 'issued' the application, your loved ones and various family members (who are not involved) must be told of the application.

Step Three - Pay the Deputy Bond Premium and await receipt of the Deputyship Order appointing the applicant/s.

Can I Have More than One Deputy?

You can appoint up to four Deputies to manage your property and financial affairs and/or personal welfare. Similar to Lasting Powers of Attorney, these Deputies may act jointly (making every decision together) or jointly and severally (where a Deputy can make a decision without seeking the approval from the other Deputies).

If you have no one willing or able to act to act as Deputy, then we can take on the appointment.
