Court of Protection Services in Derby

The Court of Protection plays a crucial role in providing a legal framework for individuals who lack the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves. This court makes decisions on financial or welfare matters for people who can't make decisions at the time they need to be made. It's responsible for:

• Determining whether an individual has the mental capacity to make a specific decision.
• Appointing deputies to make ongoing decisions for individuals lacking mental capacity.
• Giving people permission to make one-off decisions on behalf of someone else.
• Handling urgent or emergency applications where a decision must be made on behalf of someone else without delay.
• Making decisions about a Lasting Power of Attorney or Enduring Power of Attorney, and considering any objections to their registration.
• The Court of Protection's decisions are always made in the best interests of the person who lacks capacity, ensuring their rights and freedom are protected while providing the necessary support.

The Court of Protection makes decisions on behalf of individuals who lack the mental capacity to do so themselves. Our services include, but are not limited to:
