The chance for me to get LPOA for my Mum has long gone and so am looking into applying for Deputy. As explained in my previous post Mum is currently under DoLS at a psych unit. She doesn’t have capacity and is likely to be an inpatient for at least 6 months.
Unfortunately I am already facing issues with the logistics of managing her affairs although I am grateful that most of her bills are paid by DD. The biggest problem I currently is with Halifax insurance who were entirely unhelpful when I told them her house is unoccupied and will be for some time.
i have lots of questions about the application process but furstly I am wondering if I should just hand it to a solicitor to complete it. I need to be appointed Deputy urgently and can’t risk delays through mistakes or errors I may make. The fee (in addition to court fees) would be £905 + vat). Reasonable??
