Support With Capacity And The Court Of Protection
When a loved one has a brain injury this can mean that they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves. This can be very difficult for them and their families.
The Mental Capacity Act (2005) is the legal framework to protect those who are unable to make decisions for themselves. These decisions could be regarding specific things such as finances, legal issues or their health or could be a combination of these things.
The Court of Protection is a specialist Court which protects and supports vulnerable people who are unable to make decisions for themselves about their finances, property and personal welfare.
Our specialist Court of Protection legal members are able to help families understand the issues surrounding mental capacity and provide guidance and advice on how the injured person can be supported.
