Court of Protection Solicitor Liverpool, Halton & Cheshire: If somebody loses capacity to make their own decisions and there is no Power of Attorney in place, then it is possible for for someone to make an application to the Court of Protection to be able to make decisions on their behalf as their ‘Deputy‘. This would allow a family member or loved one to be able to manage their finances for them.

This can be a very upsetting and distressing time for the people involved and dealing with the Court of Protection can be a lengthy and frustrating process with matters taking many months to be dealt with by the Court. At JR Levins we can prepare all of the necessary paperwork and submit it for you.

Once a Deputyship Order has been made the deputy has to keep accurate financial accounts, enter into a security bond and make an annual report to the Court of Protection. They also need to pay a yearly supervision fee.

Our Private Client team are approachable and understand how daunting this may seem. We can talk you through the process and help you with the required paperwork.
