We can guide you through the Deputyship process where there is no Power of Attorney

What can you DO if there is no Power of Attorney?

If a person does not have an appropriate Power of Attorney, it may be necessary to apply to the Court of Protection. This Court looks after the affairs of persons who are incapable by reason of mental disorder.

The person appointed by the Court of Protection is called a Deputy. The nearest relative normally applies to act as Deputy but if no relatives are willing or able to act, a friend, solicitor or other professional adviser may apply.
