What does the Court of Protection do?

The Court of Protection can make a decision for a person who doesn’t have the mental capacity to make a decision for themselves about: property and finances; or their health and wellbeing. This court appoints ‘deputies’ to act in the person’s best interests, protecting the person’s rights. Our solicitors can help you comprehend these processes if you are looking to be appointed as a deputy or merely want to know your rights.
