How we can help with Court of Protection applications

If you are trying to help a person who has either never had the capacity to make their own decisions and is now an adult, or an adult who has lost capacity because of an accident, ill health or dementia, then the legal options and paperwork can appear confusing.

The solution lies in a Court of Protection application if the person you are trying to help does not have a Health & Welfare or a Property & Financial Lasting Power of Attorney in place.

Our Court of Protection solicitors can help you with:

• Advice on making a Court of Protection application
• Applying to the Court of Protection for the appointment of a Deputy
• Advice on existing applications before the Court of Protection
• Advice on contested applications before the Court of Protection

Taking the next step with Bromleys

Making a Court of Protection application is a major step. It may mean you are having to come to terms with a loved one’s diagnosis or having to accept that a family member is not going to get better or be able to make their own decisions.

An application for Deputyship may come after time spent battling to get information from health or other organisations, but without the appropriate legal authority, as there was no Lasting Power of Attorney or a Deputyship order. That’s why it is important that you are supported in your next steps.

When you decide to take the step, we will be by your side.
