What is a deputy?

A deputy is someone who has been appointed by the Court of Protection to manage the finances of an incapacitated client. The deputy may be a family member, a close friend or a trusted professional.

With years of experience working with the Court of Protection, our sensitive and understanding Mental Capacity & Deputyship solicitors can help you make an application to become a deputy. Our specialist solicitors can also act as deputies for those unable to make decisions for themselves.

There is another type of deputy who will deal with Personal Welfare and they make decisions on medical treatment and how someone is cared for. Hodge Jones & Allen Deputyship Solicitors only act as Property & Financial Affairs Deputies.

"Christine Dyson is a standout deputy with incredible experience in representing client's with complex needs and demands both with professionalism but also, importantly, empathy." - Legal 500, 2025
