Court Of ProtectionWhen a person becomes mentally incapable of handling his or her own affairs, he or she is usually incapable of delegating that responsibility to someone else. Consequently, unless provision has already been made in the form of an Enduring Power of Attorney or Lasting Power of Attorney, it may be necessary to apply to the Court of Protection for the appointment of a Deputy. We have considerable expertise in this area. There have been far reaching changes to this area of law, as a result of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This Act became law in full on 1st October 2007. We will shortly be updating this section of our website to provide you with further information on the new law. In the meantime, if you have any questions about Enduring Powers of Attorney, Lasting Powers of Attorney or the new Court of Protection, then please contact a member of our Court of Protection team who will be pleased to assist.
