Deputyship in Singapore refers to the legal process where the Court appoints a person (a deputy) to make decisions on behalf of someone who lacks mental capacity (referred to as 'P').

It is typically needed when P has not made a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) and is unable to make decisions about their personal welfare or property and affairs.
