Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, ss 8, 9(2)
If they’re satisfied you’ve lost “mental capacity”, the Family Court Judge will then decide whether a personal order is necessary, and, if it is necessary, then exactly what kind of order should be made. A key principle here is that the judge must intervene as little as possible in your life, taking into account how far you’ve lost “mental capacity”. They must also allow or encourage you to be as self-reliant as possible.
Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, s 65
A court-appointed lawyer will represent you, if you don’t already have your own lawyer. The lawyer will report to the judge about your situation and make recommendations.
