Court of Protection Solicitors

How we can help

Our Court of Protection Solicitors support families across Teesside through every stage of the Court of Protection process, from Deputyship applications to Statutory Wills and Statutory Gifts.

Navigating the complexities when someone loses the ability to make decisions is never straightforward. The Court of Protection steps in when there's a need to manage someone's financial affairs, and if there isn't a Power of Attorney already in place, a Deputyship order might be necessary. This official order allows a designated person, known as a Deputy, to make financial decisions on their behalf. Understanding the details and navigating the process can be daunting, which is why our Court of Protection Solicitors are here to help. We offer services where our firm can act as the Professional Deputy, handling all the necessary responsibilities if required.

Sometimes, life changes and an existing will might not reflect the current needs or situation of someone who has lost their mental capacity. In such cases, our Court of Protection Solicitors can assist in crafting a Statutory Will, ensuring it aligns with the person's best interests and welfare. Whether they've never had a will or if their existing one needs revisiting, we collaborate closely with the court to ensure clarity and precision.

And for those pivotal financial decisions, like planning gifts to optimise Inheritance Tax, our Court of Protection Solicitors are here to simplify the process. If the person in question can't make these decisions due to their situation, we'll guide you through securing permission for a Statutory Gift. Our commitment is to make every step transparent and hassle-free for you and your loved ones.
