🏡 WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE’S NO LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY?
If a loved one can no longer manage their own finances and there’s no Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place, what happens next?
In some circumstances, a family member may need to apply to the Court of Protection for Deputyship to gain the legal authority to manage their loved one’s financial affairs.
From dealing with bank accounts and household bills to managing property and care costs, the process can feel overwhelming — particularly when you’re already dealing with a difficult situation.
At Prime Deputyship, we help families navigate the process, including:
✅ Court of Protection Deputyship applications
✅ Complex paperwork and notification requirements
✅ Understanding the responsibilities of a Deputy
✅ Professional guidance and support throughout the process
We know there’s often a lot to deal with at an already challenging time. Our aim is to make the process clearer, provide reassurance and help take some of the pressure off families.
If you’re facing this situation, or simply want to understand your options, find out more about our Court of Protection and Deputyship services.
