Court of Protection & Deputyship

Deputyship Solicitors Near Me

Becoming a deputy means a person will have the legal authority to make decisions on a person’s behalf. A deputy will typically be a close family member or friend of the person who has lost mental capacity. However, in some cases, a legal professional may be appointed as a deputy by the court.

The Court of Protection and associated processes are complex and should not be entered into without the support of an experienced legal professional.
