Wrigleys Trustees Limited as COP approved Panel Deputy

Wrigleys Trustees Limited, our trust corporation at Wrigleys Solicitors, remains a Court of Protection approved panel deputy, available to support people who lack mental capacity.

Some professional deputies are called “panel deputies”.  A panel deputy is a deputy appointed from the Court approved list (who have undergone a stringent application process).

It is often the case that a panel deputy, including Wrigleys Trustees Limited, are approached by the Court of Protection or Office of the Public Guardian as a panel deputy from the approved list when there is no-one else willing or able to act as deputy for someone who lacks mental capacity. Whilst the Court of Protection approved panel deputy list is utilised by authorised officers and judges at the Court of Protection, it is also a useful resource for professionals and members of the public who are looking to appoint a professional deputy approved by the Court. The list can help identify deputies with relevant expertise and may assist those seeking a professional deputy either within their local area or with particular specialist experience.

If you have any queries in relation to how Wrigleys Trustees Limited may be able to assist as professional deputy, or other services our firm offer to support deputies and those who lack capacity, please contact Charlotte Dyson or another member of our Court of Protection team.
