Court Of Protection

As people get older, their ability to manage their finances can be affected. The Court of Protection is the judicial body responsible for decisions relating to the management of finances and affairs of individuals who are incapable of managing them themselves.


How we can help

Temperley Taylor’s experienced team of solicitors are dedicated to safeguarding the welfare of the injured and vulnerable. We can guide you through applications to the Court of Protection and offer straightforward and effective legal advice.

In some cases a person can also be approved to look after the affairs of a vulnerable person. Our Solicitors specialise in helping to make decisions that will protect the future of our clients, whether this is by appointing a deputy, or acting on behalf of a loved one.

For more information on the Court of Protection, contact our Middleton office on 0161 643 2411, or our Heywood office on 01706 623 511.


Applying to the Court of Protection

If someone you care about lacks the capacity to make important decisions, you could make an application to become their deputy. This will allow you to manage their finances and, sometimes, their health and welfare.

If you need assistance with a court application, Temperley Taylor can:

  • Act as deputy if there is no-one else suitable
  • Help to obtain medical evidence
  • Liaise with the court
  • Assist with annual court reports
  • Guide clients on finances and accounts

Our solicitors recognise the sensitive nature of this area of law and aim to achieve the most beneficial results for everyone involved. Making an application can be complex, so seeking advice from an experienced solicitor will save you time and reduce stress.
