Most of us take for granted that we have the ability to manage our own affairs. But should something happen, for example if one were to have a severe stroke or suffer from dementia, and that ability was diminished, the Court of Protection has the jurisdiction to make decisions on an your behalf . They can appoint a suitable person to look after your affairs in conjunction with the Office of the Public Guardian unless you have a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place.
