Court of Protection

The head of the department, Partner Andrew Cusworth, has been appointed to the Court of Protection's new panel of Professional Deputies. Andrew is one of just 64 Panel Deputies in the England and Wales. He works closely with the rest of the team who are specialists in Court of Protection matters.

The Court of Protection team at Linder Myers regularly act for people who are under the jurisdiction of the Court of Protection. They are experienced in acting as independent Deputies for incapacitated people and making deputyship applications for family members who wish to be appointed.

The Court of Protection work links closely to our Trusts and Estates department who offer as part of our Court of Protection services:

• Personal Injury trusts
• Lasting Powers of Attorney 
• Statutory Wills
• Brain Injury litigation

As one of the few dedicated Court of Protection departments in the country, and with one of only 64 Panel Deputies, our Court of Protection advice and support is second to none.

Linder Myers’ team of lawyers have extensive experience in Court of Protection work and the creation of Lasting Powers of Attorney and Personal Injury trusts where relevant. We can help you through every stage of this important process.
