Lasting Power of Attorney
Have you ever considered what would happen if you were to lose mental capacity - either temporarily or permanently - leaving you unable to make key decisions about your own affairs?
A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone to make decisions for you.
Drafting a lasting power of attorney (LPA) is an important tool designed for such a scenario and allows you to appoint someone to make these crucial decisions … a trusted person that puts your values and priorities at the centre of the decision-making process. Furthermore, the risk of family conflict is reduced.
There are two “flavours” of LPA:
- Property and financial affairs
- Health & welfare
