    Hi @Jasbinder and a warm welcome to our community, how are you keeping?

    I believe you're thinking about a Deputyship? To learn more about this, firstly you would need to explore your grandson having a mental capacity assessment, before applying for a deputyship. Please look at the following links for more information:
    Please let me know if you have any more questions. Wishing you and your family all the best.
