Court of Protection
The Court of Protection was established to make decisions on behalf of people who have lost or never had mental capacity (known as the Protected Party).
The Court of Protection can appoint people (Deputies) to manage P’s financial affairs, create a Will for P and make other decisions such as whether they should receive specific medical treatment or whether certain property should be sold.
Lawson West's experienced Court of Protection team in Leicester and Market Harborough can help you navigate the Court, with particular specialism in:
-
Deputyship Applications (both Financial Affairs and Personal Welfare)
-
One-Off Orders
-
Gifting Applications
-
Trustee Appointments
-
Challenging Deputy Appointments
-
Challenging decisions made by an attorney
-
Professional Deputyship Appointment
Lawson West’s specialist team is also able to act as professional Deputies, meaning that where there is no-one appropriate to manage P’s affairs, we can assist.
Our Probate, Wills and Trusts Team helps to assist with creation of Powers of Attorney for people with mental capacity and our Litigation and Dispute Resolution Team can assist with resolving matters not relating to vulnerable persons.
With a heritage of practising law for over forty years, our skilled and highly-qualified solicitors are experts in supporting the vulnerable through the Court of Protection.
