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.

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.

Client feedback

My family and I had a great experience with Winston’s. The staff are friendly, efficient, and answer emails in a timely fashion. Monika who dealt with our case was approachable and explained things in a way that was easy for the lay person to understand. She also kept us updated regularly, which was appreciated.

Catherine

Kind, courteous service - excellent and clear communication at all stages of the process - would recommend.

Paul

I had a very good experience. Thank you 🤩

Ines

Would highly recommend Winston and particularly Monika, if you’re looking for a professional and welcoming solicitor. I have used them for the last 10 years in business and personal life. Efficient and thorough with convenient parking, plus everyone you meet is happy to help.

Helen

We used Winston's to arrange our Power of Attorney and our solicitor, Emily Spencer, was very professional and efficient, and a pleasure to work with.

John

I do not think that the service we received could be improved. We were treated like friends rather than clients - December 2025

I cannot thank Winston Solicitors enough for helping me write my Will. Thank you very much Monika.

The whole process of sorting out my wife's estate and a lasting power of atorney was made a relatively easy to understand process because the team we dealt with spoke to us in an easy to understand language. They also acted quickly at every stage as well as always keeping us updated if there were any delays.
