What is the Court of Protection?
When someone no longer has the mental capacity to make their own decisions and there is no valid Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) any significant decisions about their finances, property or care must be authorised by the Court of Protection.
Our specialist private wealth solicitors guide families, carers and professionals through this process with care, clarity and efficiency. We ensure your loved one’s affairs are managed properly, lawfully and always in their best interests.
Our Expertise
Our experienced Court of Protection solicitors represent clients in contested cases before the Court of Protection for example, where there is disagreement over who should act as deputy or what decisions are in the person’s best interests. We handle these sensitive matters with discretion and compassion.
Deputyship Applications
If someone close to you no longer has capacity and does not have an LPA, we can help you apply to be appointed as their deputy. We assist with both property and financial affairs and health and welfare deputyships, ensuring the application is accurate, complete and supported by the necessary medical evidence.
Ongoing Deputy Support
Once appointed, deputies are responsible for managing the person’s affairs under the Court’s supervision. We provide continuing legal support, including advice on decision making powers, annual reporting duties and compliance with the Office of the Public Guardian’s requirements.
One-Off Court of Protection Applications
We also act in one-off or urgent applications, such as:
Selling property belonging to someone lacking capacity
Making gifts or investments on their behalf
Resolving disputes between family members or professionals
Seeking authority for medical treatment or care decisions
Statutory Wills
Disputed Applications & Court Hearings
Our experienced Court of Protection solicitors represent clients in contested cases before the Court of Protection for example, where there is disagreement over who should act as deputy or what decisions are in the person’s best interests. We handle these sensitive matters with discretion and compassion.
Who We Advise
Every individual’s circumstances are different. We take time to understand your personal situation, family dynamics and priorities before preparing LPAs that reflect your wishes precisely.
Registration with the Office of the Public Guardian
Our team manages the entire registration process with the Office of the Public Guardian, ensuring your LPAs are correctly filed and ready to take effect when needed.
Reviewing and Updating LPAs
We advise on reviewing your LPAs periodically or when your personal circumstances change, for example, if you move abroad, appoint new attorneys or experience a change in family circumstances.
We also assist:
Families and carers supporting a loved one who has lost capacity
Proposed deputies seeking guidance on their responsibilities
Professional advisers acting as deputies or trustees
Health and social care professionals involved in Court of Protection matters
Dealing with the loss of capacity is never easy, emotionally or practically. Our solicitors take a calm, structured approach, explaining each stage of the Court process and managing all correspondence and filings on your behalf.
We ensure that your loved one’s rights and welfare remain at the centre of every decision and that all actions comply with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Court’s guidance.
