Court of Protection

  • > Will Preparation

If someone is mentally incapable of making a particular decision at a particular time, and they haven’t made a lasting power of attorney, and the decision isn’t one that can be made on an informal basis, the matter can be referred to the Court of Protection.

The court may either choose to make the decision itself on the person’s behalf, or choose someone else, known as a ‘deputy’, to make the decision for them. Where the court appoints a deputy to manage someone’s property and financial affairs on an ongoing basis, the deputy usually has to keep accounts, enter into a security bond, and report to the Office of the Public Guardian.

The Court of Protection charges a one-off application fee, and the Office of the Public Guardian charges a yearly fee to cover the cost of supervising the deputy’s work.

    Mr Martin Patrick
  • Many thanks for our completed wills. Thanks to your guidance it was much easier than I expected. You replied promptly to all phone calls or emails and we received the drafts by the date advised, a very professional service. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing advice and you will certainly be our first point of contact should we need similar services in the future. Many thanks.

    Mr & Mrs Harris
  • I have instructed KBL in relation to a complex Employment matter. Sarah Collier is highly experienced in Employment Law. The client care provided by Sarah Collier and her assistant Sarah Taylor was exceptional and went over and beyond my expectations in the matter. A pragmatic approach was taken in the matter and I achieved the conclusion I was hoping for. Would definitely recommend KBL Solicitors.

    Ismail Limbada
  • I’ve dealt with KBL and Debbie Roberts for many years and have always found them to be on the ball. Debbie’s expertise in property law has been vital to my business, she is an excellent communicator, very responsive and always gives me clear, concise advice. The professional relationship I have with KBL is invaluable and I would have no hesitation in recommending KBL to businesses and individuals alike.

    Michael James, James Industrial Ltd
  • KBL provide a fantastic legal service and cost-effective advice. Gillian Hindle and David Johnson deal with our properties, and we have always found them to be quick to respond, professional and reassuring. Their attention to detail and depth of knowledge regarding commercial property law is first class and they are able to complete transactions in a smooth and timely manner.

    Damien Finnigan, J Dickinson and Sons
  • I have known and worked closely with Greg Gardner-Boyes for many years. Greg is an extremely effective solicitor with the ability to grasp complex situations quickly and get the job done.
