Common questions
What is the Court of Protection?
The Court of Protection makes decisions about the property, finances, health, and welfare of people who lack mental capacity to make those decisions themselves. It can appoint a deputy to manage someone's affairs when there is no valid Power of Attorney in place.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity. There are two types: one for property and financial affairs, and one for health and welfare. It can only be made while you still have capacity.
Can I challenge a decision to detain someone under the Mental Health Act?
Yes. Patients detained under the Mental Health Act have the right to apply to a Mental Health Tribunal for discharge. A solicitor can represent them at the Tribunal and ensure their rights are properly protected throughout their detention.
What is a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard (DoLS)?
DoLS is a legal framework that authorises the deprivation of liberty of adults who lack capacity and are in a care home or hospital in their best interests. If you believe a family member is being unlawfully detained or the DoLS assessment was flawed, a solicitor can advise you on challenging it.
