JeanneA Report post Posted March 21, 2012 I have just recently been advised by Adult Social Services to apply for Deputyship under the Court of Protection regarding my son Glen who is approaching 18. This means that if I'm appointed I will be legally responsible for Glen who lacks capacity to make decisons for himself. Has anyone else been through this procedure and if so how long did it all take? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
