Our Court of Protection and Deputyship service provides support and advice throughout the complex process of applying for a deputyship order.
A deputyship order may be required when an individual suffers loss of mental capacity and can no longer make decisions relating to their property and financial affairs, or their health and welfare.

A deputy is someone chosen by the Court of Protection, in the absence of a lasting power of attorney, to make decisions on behalf of someone who has lost their mental capacity.
A deputyship order is issued by the Court of Protection and enables someone to make decisions on behalf of another person who has lost the mental capacity to do so. People apply for deputyship orders when there is no power of attorney in place.
If you are over 18 and (typically) a relative or close friend of someone who needs help to make decisions about their finances, health or wellbeing, you can apply to be a deputy. Professionals, such as solicitors or local authority representatives, can also be paid to act as deputies.
