Social worker asked me to apply for deputyship of my Mother. She has been deemed as lacking capacity. I have to apply to the court of protection and it feels like an impossible task. There are numerous forms, hopefully someone can give guidance. My Mother thinks she's managing but wears the same clothes for weeks, sleeps in them, no personal care for months. Doesn't brush her hair, if asked oh it's windy outside, what's the point.

You are welcome here, along with so many long time posters from the UK and Australia.

No apologies needed.

"deputyship" is not an American term or designation, but is akin to our guardianship. Since this is a global forum of non professionals, it would help to know exactly country, state your Mom is living in so that someone from that same location can give you the best advice.
