Deputyship

Here to help you take care of someone who can’t

When someone close to you loses the ability to make decisions for themselves, it can feel overwhelming. You may be facing tough choices about their finances, their care, or simply how to do the right thing on their behalf.

We are here to guide you through the process of applying for a Deputyship Order – a legal document that gives you the authority to manage important decisions for a loved one who no longer can. Whether due to illness, a sudden accident or long-term condition, these moments are never easy. But you are not alone.

At Darby & Darby, we help families across Torquay, Brixham and Dartmouth take control with clarity, care and reassurance. We will explain the process in plain English, handle the paperwork, and support you every step of the way, so you can focus on what matters most.

Because these applications can take up to 12 months, it is important to start with trusted legal guidance.

Speak to Ben Darby or Anthea Wilson today to find out how we can help.
