The Court of Protection deals with decision making for adults who the lack mental capacity to make decisions
themselves.
This will include vulnerable adults with learning difficulties, mental health problems and elderly people
suffering from
dementia or Alzheimer's. Where the person has not made a Lasting Power of Attorney, application can be made
to the Court
of Protection for a Deputy Order to deal with the person's property and financial affairs.
In the event emergency access
is needed to the vulnerable person's bank account, Y Bacchus & Co can assist with the application for an
Interim Order
pending the decision of the final order. Deputy Orders relating to personal welfare may be granted in rare
cases.
