What Is The Court Of Protection?
The Court of Protection is a specialist court that makes decisions and appoints deputy judges to act on behalf of people who cannot make decisions about their health, finances, or welfare.
Suppose someone can no longer manage their affairs and has not set up a Lasting Power of Attorney to enable someone else to make decisions on their behalf. In that case, an application to the Court of Protection might be needed to appoint a Deputy to manage their affairs generally or to decide on a specific issue.
It is also sometimes necessary to make applications to the Court of Protection to resolve contentious or complex issues, even when a Lasting Power of Attorney is already in place.
These applications are often complex and time-consuming at a time when you least need them. Our team offers friendly and efficient support during these difficult times.

The Most Popular Questions For Court Of Protection
How long does it take for Court of Protection?
Given the detailed nature of Court of Protection applications and the current strain on the Court system, we would expect an Order to be issued within four to six months.
What can the Court of Protection do?
A person appointed as a Deputy by the Court of Protection will potentially be granted similar powers to that of an attorney under a Lasting Power of Attorney. Some decisions may require one-off applications, which is not the case with a Lasting Power of Attorney.
What is the difference between Court of Protection and Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney can only be entered into if a person has the mental capacity to understand what they are doing. If that person does not have that level of mental capacity but still needs their affairs managed, the Court of Protection application will be required.
