We work closely with Local Authorities (Councils) and social workers in order to provide joined-up, collaborative solutions to the problems faced by vulnerable people and those who lack capacity to manage their own property and financial affairs.

​

Many local authorities act as a 'Corporate Appointee' for people who cannot manage their own benefits. However, in certain circumstances, a corporate appointee is insufficient to manage a person's property and finances. This may be because of the size or complexity of the estate involved. In these circumstances, a Court of Protection Deputy or an attorney (appointed under an LPA) may be needed in order to make decisions on behalf of the incapacitated or vulnerable person. 

​

We provide both Professional Deputyship and Attorney services. Deputyship services are suitable for people who lack the requisite mental capacity to manage their own property and finances. Attorney services are suitable for those people who do have mental capacity, but who may require additional support or financial safeguarding in the future. 

​

All of our services have been developed in line with our core values of empathy, integrity and transparency. As a nonprofit social enterprise, our aim is not to generate profit, but to act in the best interests of our clients. 

​

In some circumstances, a person's care needs are negatively impacted or exacerbated by issues relating to their property and finances. This may be because they have been subject to financial abuse, or because their difficulty managing money has prevented them from living a healthy, independent life.

By ensuring the property and finances of incapacitated people are managed effectively, we believe the burden upon social services and Local Authorities may be reduced. We focus on providing proactive and preventative services which safeguard people's assets and attempts to mitigate a person's need for additional care and support. By doing so, we ensure they live as full and independent lives as possible.
