Professional Deputyship And Attorney Administration
Introduction
Clarity in a complex world.
Individuals will usually choose to appoint family members or close friends as their attorneys, however that is not always possible or appropriate for a number of reasons. It is therefore also possible to appoint a professional such as a solicitor to act as an attorney or to apply to the Court of Protection to be a professional deputy if the individual has already lost capacity.
A professional deputy or attorney is usually a lawyer or other professional who is appointed by the Court to make complex financial and welfare decisions in the best interests of their client. At Porter Dodson we can apply to the Court for the Porter Dodson Trust Corporation Limited to be the deputy, or you can choose for the Porter Dodson Trust Corporation Limited to be your named attorney.
