Lasting Power of Attorney
An LPA gives you control over who makes decisions for you if you’re unable to make them yourself. Plan ahead by nominating a trusted voice who will act on your behalf.
Lasting Power of Attorney
What we do
-
Health and Welfare
A Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make personal and medical decisions on your behalf if you lose the capacity to make them yourself. This can include decisions about your daily care, medical treatment, living arrangements, and, where you choose, life-sustaining treatment. Putting a Health and Welfare LPA in place helps ensure your wishes are respected and gives you peace of mind that important decisions will be made by someone you trust
-
Property and Financial Affairs
A Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to manage your financial matters if you are unable to do so yourself, or if you choose to have support. This can include handling everyday tasks such as paying bills and managing bank accounts, as well as dealing with property, investments, and other financial decisions. Putting an LPA in place in advance helps avoid delays, protects your finances, ensures your wishes are followed, and reduces the need for costly court applications.
