A client came to us seeking urgent legal authority to manage his mother’s finances after she lost capacity due to illness. With no Lasting Powers of Attorney in place before her diagnosis, there was no one legally appointed to make important financial decisions on her behalf.
Given the urgency, we guided him through the process of applying for a Deputyship Order from the Court of Protection. This involved preparing the required evidence, completing the application paperwork, and ensuring all legal formalities were met. While the application was pending, we also advised on how best to manage immediate practical matters, such as covering bills and safeguarding assets.
Thanks to our support, the Deputyship Order was granted, enabling our client to act in his mother’s best interests with full legal authority. He was able to take control of her financial affairs, make necessary arrangements, and ensure her needs were met without delay.
