Court of Protection Solicitors in Windsor
Professional service with a personal touchWhen a loved one loses the mental capacity to make decisions and there’s no Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place, the only way to manage their affairs may be through the Court of Protection.
This can feel overwhelming – but you don’t have to face it alone.
We’re here to guide you through every step of this complex and sensitive process. From preparing applications to advising on long-term decision-making, our focus is on making things as straightforward and stress-free as possible for you and your family.
Our Court of Protection Services Include:
- Deputyship applications
- Managing a person’s property and finances
- Health and welfare decisions
- Statutory wills and one-off applications
Deputyship Applications
If no LPA exists, we can help you apply to become a Deputy, giving you legal authority to make decisions on behalf of your loved one. We assist with both:
- Property & Financial Affairs Deputyship
- Health & Welfare Deputyship (though these are less commonly granted)
We’ll handle the paperwork and liaise with the Court to ensure your application is accurate and fully supported.
Managing a Person’s Property and Finances
Once appointed as a Deputy, you may be responsible for paying bills, managing pensions or benefits, and protecting assets. We can guide you through your duties and help with ongoing administration, ensuring full compliance with the Court’s requirements.
Health and Welfare Decisions
In rare and complex cases, the Court of Protection may be asked to rule on medical treatment or care arrangements. We can help you present your case and advocate for the individual’s best interests.
Statutory Wills and One-Off Applications
If a person lacks the capacity to make or update a will, we can apply for a Statutory Will on their behalf. We also support families with one-off applications such as:
- Selling a property
- Making gifts
- Resolving disagreements over care or living arrangements
Compassionate Legal Guidance
We understand that Court of Protection matters often arise in difficult, emotional circumstances. That’s why we approach every case with empathy, patience, and discretion – ensuring that the person at the heart of it is always treated with dignity and respect.
You can rely on us to:
- Provide clear, step-by-step guidance
- Handle communications with the Court and Office of the Public Guardian
- Ensure applications are processed efficiently
- Support you through ongoing Deputy duties if required
We offer fixed fees for many services and can provide home or video appointments for your convenience.
