If a loved one has already lost mental capacity and is therefore unable to manage their own affairs, it is necessary for a relative, friend or professional adviser to apply to the Court of Protection for the appointment of a deputy. Our court of protection solicitors in Liverpool, St. Helens and Merseyside are here to help you.

A deputy is a person appointed by the Courts of Protection to deal with the financial affairs of a person who is unable to do so for himself.

The application process usually takes several months to complete and can be a daunting task. Our court of protection solicitors are able to assist you in your application or deal with the application in its entirety for you.

Anybody applying to become a deputy should bear in mind that they will need to devote a great deal of time to deal with the financial affairs of another person on a regular basis. The Court of Protection will require annual accounts to be delivered after the appointment of a deputy and we are able to offer assistance in this matter if required.
