The Court of Protection & Trust Corporations

Introduction

It is becoming increasingly common for trust corporations to be put forward as deputies and attorneys in the Court of Protection. At the same time, the court is taking an increasingly rigorous approach to conflicts of interest on the part of professional deputies (including trust corporations).

This webinar will recap the circumstances in which a trust corporation will be appointed as a deputy by the court and the practical requirements when applying for appointment. It will also address the implications of the important recent case of Re PW [2024] for trust corporations subject to potential conflicts of interest.
