How about children with intellectual disabilities? Can an LPA be made for them?
Parents of children with intellectual disability may apply to the Court to be appointed Deputies if their children are likely to be still lacking in capacity after 21 years of age.
Parents may also apply to the Court to appoint successor Deputies as future decision-makers for their children with intellectual disability in the event they are no longer around or are unable to make those decisions.
An LPA would not be relevant because it can only be made by a person with mental capacity.
