Planning now for tomorrow
Incapacity can strike anyone at any time. Putting a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place lets the people you choose decide what should happen if old age, illness, or injury should leave you incapable of dealing with your own finance, health, and welfare matters. A Lasting Power of Attorney ensures your interests are protected and that your affairs are handled by trusted individuals.
Our team of specialists are well versed in helping clients set up Lasting Powers of Attorney and are perfectly placed to support and guide you in planning now for tomorrow. Whether you are considering a Lasting Power of Attorney for property and financial affairs, health and welfare or both, we ensure every step is managed with care and professionalism.
If you want to create a Lasting Power of Attorney that covers only specific matters such as giving someone the authority for your business, it’s important that the forms are completed very carefully. We can meet with you to discuss your options, assist you in completing the LPA forms, provide the required certification, and handle the registration of your LPA form on your behalf.
LPA health and welfare
A Lasting Power of Attorney for health and welfare authorises your attorneys to make decisions about your daily healthcare, medical treatment, and to communicate with health and social care professionals on your behalf. An LPA for health and welfare can only be activated if you have lost mental capacity. Until that point, it sits dormant, and you are fully in charge of your own affairs.
LPA property and financial affairs
A Lasting Power of Attorney for property and financial affairs authorises your attorneys to make decisions on financial and property related matters such as buying and selling a house and operating a bank account. An LPA for property and financial affairs will generally only take effect once you lose mental capacity, but you can choose to activate it whilst you are mentally capable.
