The Court of Protection makes decisions for people who are unable to do so for themselves. It can also appoint someone (called a deputy) to act for people who are unable to make their own decisions. These decisions are for issues involving the person’s property, financial affairs, health and personal welfare.

The Court of Protection can:

• decide whether a person is able (‘has capacity’) to make a particular decision for themselves
• make decisions on financial or welfare matters on behalf of people who are unable to do so
• appoint a deputy to act for someone who is unable to make their own decisions
• make a will for a person who is unable to make his/her own
• remove deputies or attorneys who fail to carry out their duties
• decide whether a Lasting or Enduring Power of Attorney is valid
• hear cases concerning objections to the registration a Lasting Power of Attorney or Enduring Power of Attorney
