Individual Capacity

Individual capacity refers to a person's ability to make informed decisions and take responsible actions in their own life. It means having the mental clarity and emotional soundness to understand the consequences of one's choices. Factors affecting individual capacity include age, mental health, education, and life experiences. When someone has full individual capacity, they can enter into agreements, manage their finances, and make choices about their personal affairs. If someone lacks this capacity, they may need assistance or protection in decision-making to ensure their best interests are upheld.
