Deputyship

At DCMO Law Practice LLC, we understand the emotional and legal complexities that arise when a loved one loses the capacity to make decisions for themselves. Our Deputyship services are designed to help families and caregivers navigate this sensitive area of law with empathy, care, and precision.

A Deputy is appointed by the court to make certain decisions on behalf of a person who lacks mental capacity when the person has not made a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). Parents of children with intellectual disabilities may also apply to the court to appoint themselves as deputies for their children and another person as a successor deputy to plan if the parents themselves lose capacity or pass away.

We take a holistic, client-focused approach—balancing legal requirements with a deep understanding of the emotional impact these situations can bring. Whether you're applying to become a deputy for a loved one or facing a contested application, we provide steady legal guidance every step of the way.

With DCMO Law Practice LLC, you're not just navigating the law, you’re supported by a team that cares about the person behind the paperwork.
