Clear & evidence-based
A COP3 is a professional mental capacity assessment completed for the Court of Protection. It provides independent, evidence-based confirmation of whether a person can make a specific decision about their property and financial affairs or their health and welfare — most often as part of a deputyship application.
Our assessors regularly support people living with dementia, brain injury, cognitive impairment, mental health difficulties, neurological conditions and learning disabilities — always adapting to the individual’s communication needs.
Under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, our reports evidence each ability:
Take in the information relevant to the decision.
Hold that information long enough to decide.
Use and balance it as part of making the decision.
Express the decision by any means available.
We prioritise urgent matters and can often arrange an appointment within days, with the report following shortly after. Tell us your court deadline and we’ll work to it.
