What is the difference between a Professional Deputy and Professional Donee?

Updated by MSF 7 found this helpful
A Professional Deputy is appointed by the Family Justice Courts (FJC) through a Court order to act for a person who has lost mental capacity, while a Professional Donee is appointed under an LPA by a person (a Donor) who still has mental capacity to act for the Donor in the event the Donor loses mental capacity Both Professional Deputies and Professional Donees must not be related by blood or marriage to the person whom they are appointed to act for.
