If an adult has incapacity and is unable to make decisions, you might need legal authority to do certain things for them.

If there is nothing legal already in place, such as a power of attorney, giving you or someone else power to do those things, an application for a guardianship order can be a way to help with making decisions.

Guardianship is likely to be more suitable when decisions need to be taken over a longer period of time for an adult with incapacity.
