Deputyship Application Process Explained
Summary
Applying for deputyship in the uk involves submitting forms, a medical report, and fees to the court of protection. Separate applications and fees are needed for property and financial affairs and health and welfare. Power of attorney may be an option if the individual has mental capacity. Deprivation of liberty safeguards (dols) ensure restrictions are in the persons best interests. Restrictions can include movement, supervision, and contact limitations. If you have legal authority, such as deputyship or power of attorney, you can act for your loved one within the dols framework. Restrictions on visits may occur if they pose a risk or cause distress.Full Conversation
