Information only — this matter needs a solicitor. OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice or take on cases. This page is a general guide.

The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 replaced wardship with a tiered system of decision-making assistance, co-decision-making and decision-making representation, alongside enduring powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives. Our guides explain each option and the Fair Deal scheme, and a solicitor would prepare the documents and court applications.
