About Court of Protection
The Court of Protection deals with decisions for people who lack the relevant mental capacity. An application may concern a specific decision or the appointment of a deputy. Existing powers of attorney, the decision required and evidence of capacity affect which steps are appropriate; deputyship is not automatic in every situation.
Key Points
- Identify the decision that needs to be made.
- Check for an existing power of attorney or deputy order.
- Gather relevant financial information and capacity evidence.
How We Can Help
We discuss the circumstances and explain the potential application and supporting documents. We help you understand the court process and the responsibilities that may follow an appointment, with attention to the person's needs and the authority actually required.
