Court of Protection

Kirsty Strong

Head of Private Client

Kirsty Strong leads the private client team. To contact Kirsty please call 01744 626 600 or email info@frodshams.co.uk

The purpose of The Court of Protection is to help those who no longer have the mental ability to make their own decisions in relation to their finances, affairs, and welfare.

Degenerative, physical, and mental illness are just some of the many reasons as to why somebody may not be able to manage their own financial affairs or make informed decisions about their personal welfare.

In the case that they haven’t previously made a Power Of Attorney to appoint someone to help them (the Attorney), then it may be necessary for the Court to appoint someone to help them in relation to his or her property and finances.

The person appointed to act is known as a Deputy and an application for the Deputy appointment is made to the Court of Protection.

A Deputy application need not necessitate attendance at the Court as the application can proceed by a paper application.

Our team can help you to apply for a deputyship or if you are already a deputy, we can help you to fulfil your duties. We can also act as a deputy in more complex cases.

Court Of Protection

Court of Protection Guide

There are two forms of Court of Protection Deputyship which are given dependent upon individual needs.

  • Deputyship for property and affairs
  • Deputyship for personal welfare

Whichever type of deputyship you have being given we can help you with many of the duties including:

  • Paying for care
  • Accessing state benefits
  • Making decisions regarding healthcare or accommodation
  • Making wills
  • Submitting your annual report to the office of the public guardian

Deputyship’s can be complex, and the needs of individuals can change. You may need to apply to the Court of Protection to change your powers in the individuals’ best interests. In other cases, you may need to give up your deputyship. Whatever you need we can help, supporting and assisting you with your role taking care of the legal responsibilities.

Client Feedback

“We had a great experience with Frodsham’s. They dealt with our purchase incredibly quickly and navigated the pressures our buyer was putting on us throughout the process. Sue King was very responsive, calm and honest and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and Frodsham’s. I also want to mention Claire on reception-often when I phoned it was in extremely stressful situations and Claire was always so lovely and helpful, giving us information or passing us through quickly. We highly recommend and will be using them again in the future.”

“Frodsham’s are so supportive and helpful. They supported me through a very difficult time, and I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me. From the receptionist to Kirsty, our solicitor, I could not fault them as a team. The team are all very down to earth and I felt confident that they would explain everything to me in a way I could understand. Well done and thank you.”

“We were extremely pleased with Frodsham’s. Rachael and Sue are a real credit to this firm, their customer service was fantastic and kept us up to date throughout the whole process. Even when we were facing unforeseen issues Rachael and Sue were there to fight our corner and ensure our move happened. We simply cannot fault them, and 5 stars is not enough!”

“Kirsty Strong provided us with a great service and went out of her way to assist us whenever others couldn’t, we will be forever grateful.”

“I recently used Paula for some family advice and I also made a Will through Frodsham’s. Paula was empathetic and clear at a difficult time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frodsham’s to anyone seeking legal advice. Thank you for looking after me.”

“I would like to start by saying I cannot recommend this company enough. I recently had to get an urgent Power of Attorney for my Father as he was taken into hospital with Covid-19. This was an extremely stressful and worrying time for my family and I, which without a doubt would have been more difficult without the help of Frodshams. Kirsty dealt with everything from start to finish with complete professionalism and empathy. She understood the urgency of the situation and went above and beyond her duty of care as a solicitor to ensure everything was in place. My family and I are extremely grateful and will certainly be using Frodshams again in the future.”
