Entering into a civil partnership or marriage is a significant milestone in life, filled with love, excitement, and promise for the future. It's a momentous decision that deserves to be made with confidence and clarity. At Nellie Supports, we understand the importance of this step, and we are here to support you in making your own decision with ease and assurance.
Why Assessing Capacity Matters
The decision to marry is one that should be made with a clear mind and full understanding of its implications. The Mental Capacity Act (2005) in the United Kingdom recognizes the importance of assessing mental capacity when it comes to significant life decisions, including entering into a civil partnership or marriage.
A mental capacity assessment ensures that individuals have the cognitive ability to comprehend the nature and consequences of their decision. It safeguards against any potential vulnerabilities and helps protect the rights and interests of the parties involved.
