Individuals will usually choose to appoint family members or close friends as their attorneys, however that is not always possible or appropriate for a number of reasons. It is therefore also possible to appoint a professional such as a solicitor to act as an attorney or to apply to the Court of Protection to be a professional deputy if the individual has already lost capacity.
A professional deputy or attorney is usually a lawyer or other professional who is appointed by the Court to make complex financial and welfare decisions in the best interests of their client. At Porter Dodson we can apply to the Court for the Porter Dodson Trust Corporation Limited to be the deputy, or you can choose for the Porter Dodson Trust Corporation Limited to be your named attorney.
We have the experience and knowledge to act appropriately and to ensure your best interests are followed at all times. Porter Dodson has an experienced and committed team who administer professional attorneyship and deputyship appointments and are dedicated to ensure that the vulnerable person is cared for and their best interests are of paramount importance.
We can also draw on specialisms from across the firm including our Trust, Probate and Contentious Teams. Our firm’s values of striving for excellence, being supportive and approachable, mean we provide exceptional client care and can guide you through the process.

I instructed Ellice Pounder recently to write my Will. She was excellent, very professional and I was well advised throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ellice.

I would like to repeat my thanks to you and Caitlin for all the work involved in setting up our Lifetime Settlement. The Trust Deed was clear and followed the expressed wishes we gave you. You kept us fully informed at all times and the preparation, completion and registration were carried out in a most professional way with minimum delay. I would not hesitate to recommend Porter Dodson to any family member or friend seeking legal advice on trusts and wills and other related legal matters.
