Legal advice and Lasting Power of Attorney
The person you care for can't make their own decisions
A person may lack ‘capacity’ to make decisions on their own. This could be because of illness or disability, or the effects of drugs or alcohol. While the person may lack capacity to make particular decisions at particular times, it does not necessarily mean that they lack all capacity to make any decisions at all.
