Medical evidence is needed
The application usually needs a medical report addressing the person's mental capacity and the decisions they can no longer make.
Deputyship
Open a guided case for documents, professional support and court-related steps when a person can no longer make decisions independently.
Before you get started
Paid professional service. Quote depends on the application and complexity.
Ask only for necessary powers
The court order should identify the personal welfare or property and affairs decisions the proposed deputy genuinely needs to make.
Deputies have continuing duties
A deputy must act in the person's best interests, stay within the order and meet any reporting or supervision requirements.
