ConceptUKReviewed October 2026
The England and Wales fallback where a person has already lost capacity with no lasting power in place: the Court of Protection appoints a deputy to act for them. It is slower, supervised, more costly and run by the court rather than by someone the family chose, which is the outcome a lasting power exists to avoid.
For a live business or a cross-border structure a deputyship is a period of paralysis measured in months, because the court, not a chosen attorney, controls each step.
