Court of Protection

Our experience includes deputyship applications, contesting applications and we can also act in the capacity of professional deputies.

We also advise on issues and applications  before the Court of Protection, such as:

• Applications for clients to be appointed as Deputy.

• Advising on disputes over whether a person has mental capacity to make decisions about their welfare or finances.

• Applications to remove attorneys for breach of duty in a  Lasting Power of Attorney.

• Disputes relating to alleged breaches of duty by deputies appointed by a Court of Protection Order.

• Applications for an “Interim Order”- seeking permission for certain acts to be done whilst the Court of Protection is considering the main application.  We can assist with these applications. We can also act as a Deputy if there is no one willing or able to act.

• Best interests decisions, e.g. whether an individual who has lost capacity should have medical treatment, or where they should live.

• Statutory Will Applications.

• Personal injury Trusts.

• Disputes in the Court of Protection.
