Court of Protection

The Court of Protection is there to look after the legal welfare of those who can no longer look after themselves.

When a person becomes mentally incapable, and they have not appointed someone to look after their affairs. This is done by means of a Lasting (or an Enduring) Power of Attorney. As a result an application must be made to the Court for someone to be appointed as that person’s deputy.

A deputy is someone appointed by the Court. Most often this is a family member. Their role is to look after the affairs of a person who is no longer able to, due to mental incapacity.
