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.
What you need to know
Practical details before you begin.
Paid professional service. Quote depends on the application and complexity. These requirements and decisions help the service move forward smoothly.
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
