Deputyship
The Court of Protection is a specialist court for all issues relating to people who “ALREADY” lack capacity to make specific decisions. The Court makes decisions and appoints deputies to make decisions in the best interests of those who lack capacity to do so.
If you know or care for someone who no longer has the mental capacity to make decisions about their own person finances, we would be happy to guide you through the complex process of applying to the Court of Protection so that you (and/or someone else) can make decisions for them.
The Court of Protection application is a three phase process.
We specialise in Court of Protection applications and will be happy to complete all of the paperwork for you to ensure it is fully compliant and is not challenged by the court.
The whole process from receipt to completion by the Court should be around 10-12 weeks, however, we have to adhere to their timescales depending on their workload.
Phase 1 (Application Phase)
Completion of a number of different forms providing the court with specific detailed medical information, financial information and details about the proposed deputies.
Phase 2 (Notification Phase)
A time critical phase where notice of the application has to be given to close relatives which are not involved.
Phase 3 (Administrative Phase)
The final phase will be completion of the Guarantee Bond as stipulated by the Court.
