If you want to ensure a loved one's property and financial affairs are looked after in the event they lose the mental capacity to make their own decisions, our dedicated solicitors are here to guide you through the process of applying for a Deputyship with compassion and expertise.
Should someone you care about lose the ability to make decisions of the future of their property, their bank accounts and other crucial financial matters, it is vital that their best interests are looked after, their bills are paid and their pension is properly organised. But this is also a highly emotive and complicated process, and it is essential to have the right specialists on your side to ensure every detail of your Deputyship is accounted for.
Work with a legal team you can explicitly trust to establish a Property & Financial Affairs Deputyship on behalf of a vulnerable friend or family member, and secure the future you envision for your loved one without getting caught up in the legal complexities.
By combining our decades of experience as a firm and the expertise of our trusted team, we at Giles Wilson ensure your voice is heard and your loved one's wishes are respected, even when they're no longer able to speak or act for themselves.
When you work with us, we guide you through all of the finer details associated in financial and property matters, handling whatever’s required to make your Deputyship as clear and manageable as possible. From managing investments and weighing in on matters of buying, selling and renting property, to simply making sure someone's bills are paid on time, we put you and the people you care for first.

The Act brought in a form of protection to the leasehold flat by a Certificate Scheme but unless these certificates are granted at the right time, and in the right way, the protection can be lost.
