Court of Protection Solicitors
The Court of Protection was established to protect people who cannot protect themselves due to lack of mental capacity. If no Attorney has been appointed in a Lasting Power of Attorney – then the Court is there to deal with decision making, and in some cases, disputes. The Court’s decisions are based on the best interests of the vulnerable person.
