The Court of Protection / Deputyship Application

Patrice Lawrence was efficient, caring, thorough and very reassuring at this very sad time in my life.

The Court of Protection exists to look after the best interests of those who lack the mental capacity to make certain decisions for themselves.

The court has the power to determine if a person lacks capacity and decide what actions to take, including the appointment of lay and professional deputies to act on the individual’s behalf.

If, for example, you care for your adult child or family member, you are likely to need access to information regarding their finances or the power to deal with their assets.

If the person that you care for lacks capacity as per the Mental Capacity Act 2005, you may want to consider making an application to the Court of Protection to be appointed a deputy.

The Court of Protection has the power to make an order appointing a deputy to deal with the property and financial affairs or health and welfare of a person who lacks capacity.
