I apologise if this question has been covered before but I am very unclear about it. With my mother it was clear she had lost capacity so I went for Deputyship under the Court of Protection.
I am now asking what to do on behalf of a friend whose husband has memory problems. How does she decide whether she can get Lasting Power of Attorney? She thinks he would agree to it but who has to decide about the capacity issue? Can a solicitor make that decision or does it have to be clarified by a doctor?
