Whilst someone may have the mental capacity to look after themselves on a day to day basis, they may be lacking the mental capacity to make important financial decisions.

The applying Deputy must be over 18 years of age but the final decision will be made by the Court of Protection. In some instances the Court will seek to appoint a pre-approved Deputy, known as a Panel Deputy.

Solicitors can also be appointed to act as Deputy in their professional capacity. MRP Capron has conducted this service many times over the past 30 years.

Deputies Responsibilities

The role of the Duty is primarily to act in the best interests of the incapacitated person.

It is often wise for two people to be appointed to the role to help ease the burden of what can be a challenging and difficult role.

They are bound to follow the Court Order that has been issued.

It is important that Deputies understand these responsibilities before applying.
