Sensitivity, support and care.
When a person loses the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves and does not have a Power of Attorney in place, the Court of Protection may need to appoint a Deputy to manage their affairs. At MSB, our experienced team supports families through the legal complexities of deputyship applications with sensitivity and care.
The Court of Protection was created under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. It has power over the property, finances and welfare of people who are unable to make their own decisions and is an incredibly important tool to have in place, ensuring that your loved ones can be relieved of any unnecessary distress.
We understand how emotional and stressful these situations can be. Our role is to guide you through the process, making it as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Whether you are applying to become a Deputy for a family member, or need help managing an existing role, MSB are here to offer expert legal support and practical reassurance every step of the way.
