Deprivation Of Liberty Order

Hi ****!
A Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) order is intended to protect individuals who can't make decisions about their own care. Removing your mum from the care home without proper legal channels could breach the order.
Have you considered speaking to the care home or the local authority about your concerns?

Hey ****! If you want to move your mum to another care home, you will need to:
- Apply to the Court of Protection for permission.
- Provide a suitable alternative care plan.
- Ensure the new care home can meet the needs outlined in the DoLS order.
Have you looked into the Court of Protection process?

Case Rating: *
Hi ****! Applying for deputyship is related but not exactly the same. Deputyship gives you the authority to make decisions on behalf of your mum, including her care arrangements. However, you would still need to get approval from the Court of Protection to move her if there's a DoLS order in place.
Have you already started the deputyship application process?

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! Since you've already started the deputyship application process, you are on the right track. Once you have deputyship, you can apply to the Court of Protection to move your mum to another care home. Make sure to provide a detailed care plan and ensure the new care home meets the DoLS requirements.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to ask!

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! If you want to take your mum home, you will still need to apply to the Court of Protection for permission. You'll need to:
- Provide a detailed care plan for her at home.
- Ensure that her needs as outlined in the DoLS order can be met at home.
Have you discussed this option with the local authority or the care home?

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! The DoLS order gives the care home the power to:
- Ensure your mum stays in the care home for her safety.
- Make decisions about her care and treatment.
- Prevent her from leaving the care home without proper authorization.
Are you facing any specific issues with the care home's decisions?

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! The care home does not have the authority to take control of your mum's finances or property through a DoLS order. However, if you believe someone is trying to do so, it might be worth discussing with a legal advisor.
Do you have any evidence or specific concerns regarding their actions?

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! Your concern is valid, but remember, the care home cannot apply for deputyship without notifying you. As you are already applying for deputyship, you should be the primary candidate to manage your mum's affairs.
Do you have any other specific concerns or questions regarding the deputyship or DoLS process?

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! The care home cannot fast track a deputyship application to get theirs in before yours. The Court of Protection will consider all applications based on their merit and the best interests of the person involved.
Do you need more information on how to strengthen your application?

Case Rating: *
Hi ****! If the care home applies for deputyship around the same time as you, the Court of Protection will consider both applications. The court will evaluate which application is in the best interest of your mum.
Would you like more information on how to strengthen your application?

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! To strengthen your deputyship application, consider the following:
- Provide a detailed care plan for your mum.
- Include statements from medical professionals supporting your application.
- Ensure you demonstrate your ability to manage her finances and care effectively.
Do you have any specific questions or need further details on any of these points?

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! You're right, care and welfare deputyship can be more challenging to obtain. However, focusing on property and finance deputyship is a good approach.
One relevant question:
- Have you gathered all necessary financial statements and documentation to support your application?
If you need more detailed guidance or have further questions, feel free to ask!

Hey ****! Yes, as part of the deputyship process, you will likely need to arrange a security bond with an approved insurer. This bond acts as a safeguard to protect your mother's finances in case of any mismanagement. The Court of Protection will provide guidance on the amount and the process.
Do you have any other questions about the deputyship process or the security bond?

Case Rating: *
Hey ****! Yes, you will need to set up a deputyship bank account. This account is used to manage your mother's finances separately from your own, ensuring transparency and proper record-keeping. The bank will usually require a copy of the deputyship order to open the account.

Additionally, I will always respect my mother's wishes regarding gift-giving. She derived great joy from presenting gifts and cards during Christmas, birthdays, and other celebrations for my brother, myself, her five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, her brother, and her niece and nephew. I will ensure that this tradition continues in a way that aligns with her values and past practices.
Best Interests:
My mother owns her own home, and while her care home fees are currently being covered through her bank accounts, I recognize that as these funds diminish, I may need to sell her property to continue funding her care. I fully understand the gravity of this responsibility and will approach all financial and property decisions with the utmost care, ensuring that my mother’s needs are met and that she is always comfortable and well provided for. My primary goal is to act in my mum's best interests. I believe that my management of her finances will provide her with stability and security. I have the support of my family and medical professionals who agree that this arrangement will benefit her. I am dedicated to upholding her dignity and ensuring that her financial resources are used to enhance her quality of life.
My mother has always been extremely careful and frugal with money, and I will honor her values by ensuring that her finances are managed prudently and wisely. I will discuss all financial and property-related matters with her in a manner she can understand, always taking her feelings and past decisions into account.
Mental Capacity Act * and Code of Practice:
I will adhere to the rules set out in the Mental Capacity Act * and its accompanying Code of Practice by ensuring:
- All decisions are made in the best interests of my mother.
- Decisions are the least restrictive of her rights and freedom.
- My mother is involved in decisions as much as possible.
- Consultation with others involved in her care, including family and carers.
- Keeping accurate records of all financial transactions and decisions.
I will also abide by any additional rules that the court sets out.

Personal Statement for Property and Financial Deputyship
Your Relationship and Commitment:
My name is ****, and I am the daughter of [Mother's Name]. I have always shared a close and loving relationship with my mum. Throughout her life, she has taken care of me, and now it is my turn to ensure her well-being and financial security. I am committed to providing her with the best possible care and managing her finances responsibly.
Financial Management Plan:
I plan to manage my mum's finances with utmost diligence and transparency. I will:
- Ensure Comprehensive Financial Oversight: I will carefully monitor all income sources and ensure that her funds are used to cover her care costs and daily expenses effectively.
- Maintain Detailed Records: I will keep accurate records of all financial transactions, including income, expenses, and investments, to ensure full accountability.
- Budgeting: I will create and adhere to a detailed budget, prioritizing her needs and well-being. This budget will be reviewed regularly to adapt to any changes in her care requirements.
- Debt and Bill Management: I will deal with any income, paying all bills and debts in a timely manner to prevent any financial issues.
- Asset Management: I will manage or sell property as needed, ensuring that all decisions are made with her best interests in mind. I will handle cash assets such as bank and building society accounts, making sure they are managed prudently.
- Investment Decisions: I will deal with any capital assets, making informed investment decisions to ensure her financial stability.
- Gift-Giving: I will make small gifts on special occasions such as birthdays, in alignment with her past practices and values, ensuring she remains connected to her family traditions.
Experience and Skills:
I am a homeowner with a mortgage, which I have never defaulted on, and I have a *% credit score. I have arranged two mortgages, house sales, and purchases of my own. Additionally, I assisted my husband's grandparents in selling their house and buying a new property closer to us. They placed immense trust and responsibility on me to manage all aspects of the sale and purchase, as they were unwilling to proceed without my help. This included dealing with estate agents and solicitors and arranging the removal company. This experience has given me valuable insight into property transactions, which will be beneficial when managing my mother’s property affairs. I promised my late father that I would take over from him, and I am dedicated to fulfilling that promise. My mum was very frugal with money before she developed Alzheimer's, and I intend to uphold her financial principles.
