DEPUTYSHIP (MENTAL CAPACITY APPLICATIONS)

What happens if a loved one loses mental capacity without an LPA?

If your loved one lacks mental capacity but has not done a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), you will have to make a Court application for a deputyship order to make decisions, and handle matters, for your loved one.

These matters relate to your loved one’s personal welfare, as well as to their property and affairs.
