Court of Protection Applications and Litigation

ASK A QUESTION

When someone loses the ability to make decisions for themselves, it may become necessary for the Court of Protection to get involved.

Whether you need to apply to become a deputy, challenge an existing deputy, or resolve a dispute about someone’s finances or welfare, we’ll guide you through the process with sensitivity and care. These matters often arise during difficult periods for families. We aim to keep the process as straightforward as possible, while keeping the vulnerable person’s best interests at the heart of every decision.

We regularly advise on:

  • Deputyship applications
  • Property and financial affairs deputies
  • Health and welfare applications
  • Statutory wills
  • Gift applications
  • Removal of deputies
  • Challenges to deputy decisions
  • Court of Protection litigation
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney disputes
  • Capacity issues

You don’t have to work out who’s responsible for someone’s decisions on your own.
