What is The Court of Protection?
The Court of Protection is a judicial body which is responsible for making decisions relating to the management of the affairs of individuals who lack the mental capacity to do so on their own.
This includes both financial and personal matters and aims to ensure that the best interests of those unable to manage their affairs are protected.
Applying to The Court of Protection
If someone who has not made a Lasting Power Attorney loses capacity to manage their affairs, an application will usually be made to the Court of Protection requesting that a deputy is appointed.
A deputy is a person who is responsible for managing the affairs of someone who has lost capacity to do so themselves. There are two types of Court of Protection deputyship:
Deputyship for property and affairs
Deputyship for personal welfare
If a person still has capacity, they can make a Lasting Power of Attorney which sets out how their affairs will be managed should they lose capacity in the future. You can find out more about Lasting Power of Attorney here.
When Will a Deputy Be Appointed?
The Court of Protection will make the decision on whether a person has the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves.
They can appoint deputies to make ongoing decisions for people who lack mental capacity or give people permission to make one-off decisions on behalf of someone who has lost mental capacity.
