Court of Protection

Introduction

When someone can no longer make decisions for themselves due to mental incapacity, the Court of Protection can step in to ensure their best interests are protected. Our solicitors provide expert guidance on applying to the Court of Protection, whether to become a deputy for a loved one or to resolve disputes over their welfare or finances. We understand how emotional and complex this process can be, and we’re here to support you with clear advice and compassionate service every step of the way. We work across England and Wales, offering fixed-fee options and a personalised approach to give families peace of mind.
