When I applied to be a Deputy for my husband a year ago I had to pay the COP the original £400 plus another £400 for permission to sell our holiday chalet of which husband was joint owner, which was the main reason that I needed the deputyship. also the Insurance bond of course plus the £100 registration fee to the OPG
The annual supervision payment, payed retrospectively, was then arranged at various prices to reflect the different levels of supervision, (£125 in my case)but has now changed to £375 for every level - whether you dealing with very limited finances, as I am, or a multi-millionaire!
I also received a magazine from the OPG yesterday, which gave details of various factsheets to assist deputies and which they said go out to every new deputy. Well, this must be very new as I received my husband's deputyship in June and I didn't receive them. Last night I downloaded them and found that I needed to be doing things I haven't been and doing things i shouldn't have been! I'm now dreading the report I shall have to give in June even more than I was before!
