Court of ProtectionWhat is the Court of Protection?

The Court of Protection is based in London and operates under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This act offers a legal framework for the safeguarding of people who are unable to do make decisions for themselves. It can also help you to plan for the future should you lack capacity later on in your life and you need to be protected.

The Court of Protection’s powers include being able to:

  • Judge whether you have capacity to make decisions
  • Manage Deputyship
  • Manage Lasting Powers of Attorney
  • Decide various arrangements, such as where you should live, what treatment you should receive and so on.

Our skilled Court of Protection team can provide representation for the Yorkshire region and beyond, so no matter where you are, you can still receive the legal advice that you require. When you lack the capacity to manage your own affairs, our lawyers will help you in this.
