Court of Protection & Deputyship

If a loved one has lost mental capacity and does not have a power of attorney in place, we can assist with applications to the Court of Protection to appoint a deputy to manage their affairs.

At HBW Law, we understand the sensitive nature and importance attached to such situations. Our expert team is here to provide clear and compassionate guidance to help you protect the needs and interests of loved ones in what is often a difficult time for families.

We take the time to listen to your individual circumstances and provide any required advice in a sensitive and practical manner tailored to your family’s individual needs.

Our dedicated team are able to assist with all aspects of such applications including:

  • Gathering the necessary medical evidence;
  • Preparing and submitting the application to the Court of Protection;
  • Once a deputy has been appointed, we can advise on their duties and responsibilities including the management of finances and reporting requirements.

We are committed to making the process as straightforward as possible whilst ensuring that your loved one’s affairs are properly protected by acting in an efficient and understanding manner.
