Court Of Protection
The Court of Protection is there to look after the legal welfare of those who can no longer look after themselves. At Attwaters, we can ensure you have the best advice in circumstances that will, inevitably, be difficult for you and your family.
When a person becomes mentally incapable and they have not appointed someone to look after their affairs by means of a lasting power of attorney or an enduring power of attorney, then an application must be made to Court for someone to be appointed as that person’s deputy.
A deputy is someone appointed by the Court, frequently a family member, to look after the affairs of a person who is no longer able to do this for themselves, due to mental incapacity.
We can offer expert advice on Court of Protection work including applications to the Court for Statutory Wills, lifetime gift orders and special needs trusts.
Moreover, if someone else has taken over inappropriately, we can advise on the options available to rescue any situation.
