Q: When would the court appoint a deputy?   People with severe learning disabilities will often have a deputy who can make decisions on their behalf - Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto A: If someone has not made an LPA and then loses mental capacity, the court can appoint an individual or a professional person to manage the incapacitated person’s property and financial affairs and/or their health and welfare. This person is called a deputy. Q: What can a deputy do?  A: All decisions made by a deputy must be made in the incapacitated person’s best interests. A court order will determine the types of decisions the deputy can make. Typically, for property and financial affairs, the deputy can pay bills including care costs, take financial advice, deal with bank and building society accounts and utility providers. A court order may also allow for a property to be sold and another property purchased.
