Court of Protection and Deputyship

In the event of loss of mental capacity and there is no Power of Attorney in place, the Court of Protection can appoint a person, a ‘Deputy’ to look after that person’s affairs.
   
The Court of Protection is there to protect vulnerable people and has the power to:
Decide on an individual’s capacity to make decisions for themselves
Make decisions on financial or health and welfare matters for that person including resolving disputes between individuals involved in that person’s care
Appoint deputies to take decisions on that person’s behalf, and ensure the deputy acts appropriately and if they do not the Court of Protection can remove them
Decide on the validity of a lasting power of attorney or enduring power of attorney
