Learning from five nonagenarians: Can we avoid becoming a “P” in the Court of Protection in our old age?

In a single month, I observed five hearings involving nonagenarians – people in their nineties. I can’t imagine that anyone would choose to be involved – or to have their family members involved – in Court of Protection proceedings as they approach the end of their life. I’m not sure, though, having considered these five cases carefully (and looked at others we’ve blogged about) that there’s much we can do to avoid it.
