I don’t agree with the person appointed to be Deputy – what can I do?

It is possible to apply to the Court of Protection to contest the appointment of a Deputy and/or the Deputy’s decisions and actions. The Court of Protection has the power to remove a Deputy from the role, appoint a new Deputy and/or to reverse or amend a Deputy’s decision. To do this, the court must be satisfied that the Deputy is not acting in the person’s best interests and to make any changes would be in the person’s best interests.
