Lasting Power of Attorney and Community Care (CHOICE)

Choice project poster

The CHOICE Project offers free legal advice to clients on matters relating to lasting power of attorney (LPA) and deputyship, as well as on issues relating to the provision of care from local authorities and the NHS, and on issues relating to the Mental Health Act 1983.

We provide a friendly and professional environment where clients can feel comfortable seeking advice on issues including:

  • safeguarding the health, welfare, and finances of vulnerable adults;
  • the process and prospects of applying for LPA or deputyship, and issues arising out of these positions and Court of Protection matters;
  • disputes related to LPA or deputyship;
  • issues related to care in the community for adults, or for care home and nursing home assessments and placements;
  • assessments and support services relating to physical or mental health;
  • suitable accommodations for persons with disabilities and needs-based home adaptations;
  • hospital discharge planning and delays; and
  • concerns over being detained or ‘sectioned’ under the Mental Health Act 1983.
