| Annotation | The draft Mental Incapacity Bill lets people know how the law could be changed to make it clearer and easier to make decisions for people aged 16 and over who are not able to make their own decisions. This guide outlines the Bill's main features concerning "best interests", lasting powers of attorney (LPAs), a court appointed deputy, making a decision not to have treatment in the future, a new Court of Protection, the Public Guardian, and criminal offences.
