What Is a COP3 Assessment and Why Someone May Need It?
A COP3 assessment is a formal evaluation of a person’s ability to make decisions. It is required when someone may no longer be able to manage their own affairs due to conditions such as dementia, brain injury, or other cognitive impairments.
This assessment provides clear evidence to the Court of Protection, helping determine whether legal intervention is necessary. Without a COP3 assessment, families may struggle to gain the authority needed to handle important matters like finances, healthcare, and living arrangements.
Examples of When a COP3 Assessment May Be Needed
🟠 Managing Finances for a Parent with Dementia – A family needs legal authority to access bank accounts and pay bills for an elderly parent who can no longer manage their finances independently.
🟠 Making Healthcare Decisions for a Loved One – A person has suffered a brain injury and is unable to make informed medical choices. Their family requires a COP3 assessment to apply for legal decision-making rights.
🟠 Supporting a Young Person with ASD – A 17-year-old with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) struggles with complex financial decisions and is vulnerable to exploitation. Their family seeks a COP3 assessment to ensure appropriate legal safeguards are in place before they turn 18, helping them manage their future financial and personal affairs
