Support to step in when someone can no longer make decisions for themselves

We do everything we can to make Court of Protection & Deputyship applications simple and stress free for you, so you can concentrate on what matters most

We understand the sensitivity and pressure that often surrounds the circumstances of calling for Deputyship.
If you are looking after someone who has lost the capacity to make decisions about their own care and treatment, but has not made a Power of Attorney, then you will need to consider applying to the Court of Protection to be appointed as a Deputy under the Mental Capacity Act.
A Deputy would be a family member, a close family friend, another loved one or a professional, such as a Solicitor. Once approved, the Deputy is able to access the person’s finances in order to pay bills and invest for future financial stability.
We also support parents and carers in making plans to support children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, special educational needs or disabilities.

We provide expert advice and professional support
