Our work
Dealing with the pressures that come with having a loved one who is suffering with mental health issues can be incredibly distressing, so it is always preferable to avoid the added stress that comes with the legal repercussions of them being unable to make their own decisions.
The Court of Protection was created under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. It has power over the property, finances and welfare of people who are unable to make their own decisions and is an incredibly important tool to have in place, to ensure that your loved ones can be relieved of any unnecessary distress.
Areas we cover including:
- Applying to the Court of Protection for a Deputyship Order
- Acting as a Professional Deputy
- Applications relating to additional Trustees
- Statutory Will applications

We provide sector-leading advice to our private clients, helping them to preserve, plan and manage their assets and finances. We build long-lasting relationships based on mutual trust, respect and results. Get in touch with our team of experts to arrange a consultation.
“The firm has been tremendous in its support and critically, provides an excellent service to the individuals that we refer to them. MSB has even provided advice to clients who are unhappy with their own solicitors and for a variety of complex reasons are often unable to change their legal representation.”
Understanding the issue
If you have not prepared a Power of Attorney that will be effective if you lose your mental capacity, then an application to the Court of Protection will be needed. At MSB, our team of experts is knowledgeable on the workings of the Court of Protection and will be able to guide you through the process, helping to reach a solution that works for you and your family.
Additionally, if your loved one has not made a Will, we can support you through an application to the Court of Protection to assist in the making of a Will and/or estate planning for inheritance tax purposes.
Issues around Court of Protection applications can be complicated and our team has many years of experience in dealing with all applications and communication relating to the Court of Protection, so you can rest assured that whatever your circumstance, we will be on hand to help.

Funding options
Legal costs can often hinder individuals from taking advice. If you are in a position where you need to apply to the Court of Protection to help with the management of your loved one’s affairs, then your loved one’s assets will cover the legal costs and Court fee.
There are ongoing costs with the Court whilst the Order remains in place and it is therefore essential to take advice before making an application to the Court of Protection.
