Deputies: manage a Court Funds Office account

Skip contents

Stop managing or close an account

A new deputy can take over management of the account if you stop being a deputy or die.

You cannot hand over management of the account - only the Court of Protection can appoint a new deputy. The new deputy will then need to apply to manage the account.

You stop being a deputy

Tell the Court Funds Office in writing if you stop being a deputy - send a copy of the letter to the Office of the Public Guardian and Court of Protection.

Close an account

You cannot close a Court Funds Office yourself (for example by moving all the money into another account) unless you have a court order that authorises you to do this.

If the person you바카라 사이트™re deputy for dies the person dealing with the estate can apply for the money in the account to be paid out. The account will be closed.
