I applied for COP for my friend after she was turned down for deputyship for her mum. We heard nothing from COP about my application. Then today my friend received a phone call from a solicitor saying she had been granted it that morning. We both spoke to COP office who could not tell us the reason for this and could only suggest my friend should fill in a COP9 about this desicion. He advised her to state all her objections and queries. Has anyone else been in this situation. Does anyone have any advise as my friends mum is in a vunerable state in a residential home. The solicitor has advised my friend that she will be visiting her mum to give her paperwork regarding the deputyship. Her mum will not understand, will become very agitated as she insists that she will not tolerate a stanger dealing with this matter. HELP!! Please
