What is the Court of Protection and Why is it Needed?
The Court of Protection is a specialist court that makes decisions on financial and welfare matters for individuals who lack the mental capacity to make those decisions themselves.
Many clients ask what is the Court of Protection and why it matters. If someone loses capacity and does not have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, a family member or trusted individual may need to apply to the Court to become a deputy.
A Deputy is legally authorised to act in the person’s best interests, managing their affairs safely and responsibly. This process ensures that decisions are legally recognised and protects both the individual and their family from potential disputes or complications.
