The Court of Protection is a specialist court that deals with decisions for people who already lack the mental capacity to make choices about their own finances, property, or welfare. Where an individual is unable to manage these matters themselves, the court can appoint a deputy to act in their best interests.
If you are caring for someone who can no longer make financial or personal decisions, our team can guide you through the deputyship application process.
We handle the complexities of the Court of Protection on your behalf so that you (or another trusted person) can gain the legal authority needed to manage their affairs.
An application to the Court of Protection involves several steps, and it’s important that every document is prepared correctly to avoid delays or challenges.
Starting a new application can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At MWQ, we understand the challenges you face, and our dedicated assistance service is here to help you navigate the process with confidence.
We take the stress out of the equation, ensuring every step is clear and manageable. Let us guide you toward a smooth and successful start, so you can focus on what truly matters.

We understand how important it is to put deputyship arrangements in place quickly and with care. While every application is handled according to the Court of Protection’s timetable, the process typically takes around 10–12 weeks from submission to completion.
