Understanding Court Protection Orders with Lyons Bowe

When someone is unable to make important decisions for themselves due to illness, injury, or lack of mental capacity, the Court of Protection may step in to protect their best interests. At Lyons Bowe Solicitors, our specialist team provides clear guidance and compassionate support to families navigating this sensitive process.

What is a Court of Protection Order?

A Court of Protection Order gives legal authority to a trusted person often a family member, friend, or professional to make decisions on behalf of someone who lacks mental capacity. These decisions may cover:

  • Property and financial affairs : managing bank accounts, paying bills, or selling property.
  • Health and welfare: decisions about medical treatment, living arrangements, and daily care.

If no Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is in place, the Court of Protection becomes essential for ensuring the vulnerable person’s affairs are managed legally and fairly.

When Do You Need a Court of Protection Order?

Families often seek an order when:

  • A loved one has dementia, Alzheimer’s, or another condition affecting decision-making.
  • An accident or illness has left someone unable to manage their affairs.
  • Important financial or healthcare choices must be made urgently.

Applying for an order can be complex, but with expert legal advice, the process is far smoother.

Excellent service. Quietly attentive, sympathetic listeners, and efficient practitioners, all that a worried applicant could wish for. And especially unusual in this day and age....

Lyons Bowe are genuinely amazing!

Honestly I've never wanted to review solicitors before, they've been ok and have done their job at varying timescales. From the start, my partner and I have commented every single time when something happened how quick they are, and they're a delight to communicate with too! And their app is brilliant and has made things so much easier. We will use in the future and will not stop recommending.

Professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient

I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors and had the pleasure of working with Holly as my point of contact. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Holly was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient - she kept me updated throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free.

Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them

Rhea, and everyone so far at Lyons Bowe, have been truly fantastic. Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them, very pleasant in conversation and always ready to help. Highly recommend to anyone.
