Court Of Protection Disputes

The Court of Protection are able to make decisions for those who do not have the capacity to deal with finances (or welfare).

Disputes can arise in relation to a vulnerable person’s finances, and arguments can easily occur as to what is in the best interests for a family member or loved one who has lost capacity.     

Our team can assist with making or defending an application made to the Court of Protection in respect of a vulnerable person’s property and affairs. 

We can provide specialist advice on a wide range of Court of Protection matters including:

  • Applications to remove deputies and LPA attorneys
  • Applications to challenge whether the vulnerable person has lost capacity
  • Challenges to the actions/ conduct of an attorney or deputy   
  • Misappropriation of the vulnerable person’s assets or inappropriate gifting of assets
  • Challenges to a statutory will application  (link to jargon buster). 

    • If you’re dealing with a dispute over a vulnerable person’s finances, our team can help. We advise on Court of Protection matters including concerns over attorneys or deputies, loss of capacity, and misuse of assets.
