Incapacity

Incapacity refers to a situation where an individual is unable to make informed decisions due to mental or physical limitations. This can arise from various conditions, such as severe illness, mental disorders, or disabilities. When someone is assessed as incapacitated, they may require assistance with legal, financial, or personal decisions. Such assessments often involve legal processes to protect the individual’s interests, ensuring that decisions are made in their best interest, often by a court-appointed guardian or advocate. The goal is to support and safeguard the person while respecting their dignity and rights.
