If there is no Lasting Power of Attorney in place, the Court of Protection is the legal route for making decisions on their behalf – from managing finances to arranging care.

At Mackrell, we guide families through Court of Protection matters with calm, expert support. Whether you’re applying to become a deputy or need help making complex decisions for someone who lacks capacity, we’re here to protect their best interests – and yours.

Expert guidance through sensitive times

We understand the deeply personal nature of these cases. Our team works with empathy, discretion, and a clear focus on achieving the best possible outcome for the individual involved.

We regularly assist with:

• Acting as professional deputies where required
• Complex financial decisions and safeguarding of assets
• Deputyship applications for property and financial affairs
• Disputes, objections, and contested Court of Protection proceedings
• Emergency and urgent applications
• Health and welfare deputyship (where permitted)
• Ongoing support for lay deputies and attorneys
• Statutory Wills and gift applications

We also offer long-term support for deputies, ensuring ongoing compliance with the Court’s requirements and helping them navigate their responsibilities with confidence.
