Who can be appointed as a deputy by the Court of Protection?

A deputy must be over the age of 18 and is often the person's spouse or partner, their child, or a close relative or friend. Sometimes, looking after all aspects of a family member's affairs can be stressful. In these situations, a legal expert or a solicitor can be appointed to manage this as a professional deputy.
