Court of Protection

The Court of Protection makes welfare or financial decisions on behalf of people who don’t have the mental capacity to make those decisions themselves. The Court can also decide whether or not a person lacks mental capacity.

What is the Court or Protection?

The Court of Protection is a specialist court that makes welfare or financial decisions on behalf of people who lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs because of an injury, dementia, a disability or learning difficulty. The Court approves the appointment of deputies to act on their behalf and oversees their actions.
