Deputyship pricing

Our fees:

Our fees are currently £1,204 plus VAT (total £1,444.80) for our standard Deputyship service, where we apply to the Court of Protection on your behalf for a Deputyship Order to appoint you as deputy for a person who lacks capacity and for who you need to manage their finances or health and care.

Our fees are set by Part 19 of the Court of Protection Rules Practice Direction B - Fixed Costs in the Court of Protection.

This set fee is up to the first Order obtained - further work after the first Order will be charged at our hourly rate.

Other fees
One-off fees:

  • Court application fee £408
  • Hearing fee (only if a hearing is required) £494
  • Appeal fee (only if appealing a court decision) £257
  • Assessment fee (if you are a new deputy) £100
  • Security bond for financial deputies – can be one-off or annual, price depends on value of assets & risk

Ongoing fees:

  • General supervision fee £320
  • Minimal supervision fee £35
  • Copy of document fee £5
  • Security bond for financial deputies – can be one-off or annual, price depends on value of assets & risk

The above fees are subject to change and are correct as of February 2023.

Can you get help with your application fee?
You can apply for help with the application fee. If you are a property and financial affairs deputy, then the finances of the person who you are applying to be a deputy for will be considered. If you are applying to be a personal welfare deputy, then your finances will be considered when deciding if your application for help will be successful. The fee can be reduced or waived depending on the value of the assets and income they or you have, and certain benefits they or you receive.

Can you get help with your supervision fees?
If the person who you are applying to be a deputy for has an income less than £12,000 or is on certain benefits then you could apply to be exempt from supervision fees or a reduction.

Security bond
The Court of Protection may order that a property and financial affairs deputy pay to set up a security bond. The amount of the security bond is decided on a case-by-case basis and may be paid out of the deputy’s own finances or using the money of the person who you are applying to be a deputy for.

NB: timescales and fees are subject to change – please ask for details.
