This can affect them in different ways. Whilst some people may be able to manage their physical needs independently, others may struggle to handle their finances or remain vulnerable to financial abuse.
A parent or guardian will have the legal authority to manage a child’s decisions and finances until they turn 18. After this, they may need to apply for Deputyship to continue making these decisions. As applications for Deputyship can take around 12 months, it is important to consider preparing for this before they reach this age.
Deputyship applications can be made in anticipation of the child turning 18 and Lawson West are experts at arranging such applications. If you want to discuss Deputyship, or discover your options, call us on 0116 212 1000.
