Legal Issues

Below we summarise some of the issues which may be relevant to your work

Mental capacity: Mental capacity of service users is an issue which is fundamental to virtually every aspect of the relationship between service providers and users.

Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPAs): An Enduring Power of Attorney permits a service user to appoint someone else to manage his or her affairs even if mental incapacity subsequently arises.
Court of Protection: The Court of Protection is a branch of the Supreme Court which deals with the affairs of the mentally disordered. It's workings are a mystery even to many lawyers as well as to administrators, social workers and care providers
Wills: Wills not only deal with who gets what on death but also many other issues. A professionally and well drawn will can provide a service user with great peace of mind and is potentially an important abuse avoidance measure
