Assisted Decision-Making Capacity (ADMC)

At different points in your life, you may need to make important decisions about personal welfare, and property and assets, for you or someone connected to you.

The idea behind assisted decision-making is about making the most of your own ability to make decisions as well as giving you the supports you need to make those decisions.

Assisted decision-making also allows you to make plans in advance if a situation ever arises where you lose the ability to make these decisions for yourself.

These arrangements only apply to adults over the age of 18.
