When a loved one loses capacity, what happens next?

A Court of Protection deputy is appointed when someone loses mental capacity due to a health condition or accident, and no Lasting Power of Attorney is in place.

Two types handle different affairs:

A property and financial affairs deputy handles day-to-day finances, paying care fees, managing pensions, or selling a property.

A personal welfare deputy makes decisions regarding daily care routine, medical treatment, and living arrangements.

Every deputy carries a strict responsibility to act in the individual’s best interests and remain within the authority granted by the Court order.

When a family member's circumstances undergo a drastic change, the last thing needed is to be dealing with complicated legal terms and processes. Our sensitive team is here to guide families through the entire application process, getting your legal protections in place while you care for your loved one.

Good luck to everyone lacing up their trainers for the Great North Run!

Thinking about our loved ones' futures isn’t always easy, but planning ahead is one of the most caring steps you can take.

When considering how your affairs will be managed if you ever need support, a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is vital. However, a crucial detail to keep in mind is that a person must have the mental capacity to create and register an LPA.

If capacity is sadly lost, whether through illness, an accident, or progressive conditions like Dementia, it is generally too late to establish one. When this happens, family members cannot automatically step in to make legal, financial, or medical decisions on your behalf. Instead, loved ones may have to go through the difficult process of applying to the Court of Protection to be appointed as a deputy.

Putting an LPA in place early helps to protect your independence and spare your family unnecessary stress during an already difficult time.

If you would like a supportive, confidential conversation about setting up an LPA, our team is here to help.

03/09/2026

Under UK law, an individual's mental capacity to make choices regarding financial, legal, estate, or other important matters is automatically assumed unless it's legally established that they lack it.

To have mental capacity for a specific choice, a person must be able to understand the relevant information, retain it long enough to make the decision, and use it alongside the pros and cons to come to and communicate a choice.

And this isn't an all or nothing situation; capacity can change over time. A person might have the capacity to handle daily choices but lack the capacity to make complicated decisions about selling property or making a Will.

The team at Peter Ross Law is here to support you with Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) arrangements, allowing you to appoint someone you trust to make sure your preferences are honoured. We also provide compassionate guidance for families navigating Court of Protection applications and deputyship orders for loved ones who have already lost capacity.

If you have any questions about planning for the future or want to know more about supporting a family member, reach out to our team or visit our website today.

Choosing between buying or renting a commercial property?

What can often be one of the biggest decisions in a business owner's career, the choice between commercial property purchase or rental comes down to your specific business needs. When it comes to commercial renting, business owners can be put off by lease requirement horror stories or previous renting dilemmas, but here's what a solicitor can support you with if you choose the renting route:

1. Limiting repair costs so you aren’t paying for pre-exists damages

2. Negotiating early-exit break clauses and transfer rights

3. Protecting your long-term right to stay and renew your lease

4. Spotting legal concerns in local authority searches

Navigating commercial renting doesn't need to be difficult, not with an experienced solicitor making sure your lease agreement protects you and your business interests.

Follow the link in the top comment to read everything you need to know about the commercial renting process.

For commercial property owners and landlords across the North East, the protection and long-term success of your investment hinge entirely on the strength of your commercial lease.

Drafting a lease that protects your rental income and minimises void periods is essential.

Whether you are letting an office building, retail unit, or industrial space, here is what you need to consider:

󠁯•󠁏 Break clauses that balance the tenant's desire for early exit flexibility against your need for low vacancy rates
󠁯•󠁏 Lease terms that are aligned with current local market supply and demand
󠁯•󠁏 Clear rent review mechanisms and watertight 3-to-6-month rent deposits
󠁯•󠁏 Clearly defined repairs and service charges that highlight tenant responsibilities
󠁯•󠁏 How and when to exclude security of tenure where appropriate
󠁯•󠁏 Referencing, guarantor stipulations, and assignment rules

Get in touch with our team today to protect your property and your returns.

Are you planning to expand or relocate your business premises in the North East? 🏢

It is important to understand Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). Unlike residential purchases, commercial properties operate under their own distinct tax bands and thresholds:

£0 to £150,000 = 0% tax
£150,001 to £250,000 = 2% tax
£250,001 and above = 5% tax

Keep in mind that there is an important difference when dealing with leasehold properties. Stamp Duty can apply not only to any upfront lease premium, but also to the Net Present Value (NPV) of the total rent payable over the lease term.

Getting these calculations right from the outset prevents unexpected delays or costs upon completion.

Based right here in Whickham, Newcastle, the commercial property team at Peter Ross provides guidance to business owners through every stage of the conveyancing journey, from reviewing complex lease agreements to managing your SDLT returns accurately and on time.

Building a property portfolio starts with getting the foundations right. 🏘️

Building a buy-to-let portfolio can be an attractive long-term investment, but owning multiple properties brings considerations beyond finding tenants and collecting rent.

And no matter if you're buying your first investment property or adding another to an established portfolio, having the right legal advice on hand can help you make informed decisions at every stage of the journey.

Swipe through these slides for a quick introduction to buy-to-let portfolios. ➡️

Do you own commercial property in a multi-let development? 🏢

Service charges recover the costs of maintaining shared areas and the structural upkeep of the building. Without a well-drafted lease, landlords and tenants can face unpredictable costs.

Our legal team drafts service charge provisions that outline exactly what maintenance, management, and insurance expenses can be charged while offering clarity around collection procedures.

If you're a commercial property owner seeking advice, get in touch today.
