Planning today for peace of mind tomorrow
None of us like to think about a time when we may
not be able to make our own decisions. However,
life can be unpredictable, and illness, injury, or an
accident could leave you unable to manage your affairs or
make important choices for yourself.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that enables you to appoint trusted individuals, known as your attorneys, to act on your behalf should you lose mental capacity or become unable to make decisions for yourself.
You remain in control by deciding:
✓ Who can act for you
✓ What decisions they can make
✓ How those decisions should be made
✓ When their authority can be used
Lasting Powers of Attorney
The Two Types of Lasting Power of Attorney:
Property & Financial Affairs LPA
This allows your attorneys to manage matters such as:
✓ Bank accounts and savings
✓ Paying bills and household expenses
✓ Managing investments
✓ Buying or selling property
✓ Handling financial affairs generally
Health & Welfare LPA
This allows your attorneys to make decisions relating to:
✓ Medical treatment
✓ Care arrangements
✓ Living arrangements
✓ Daily care and wellbeing
✓ Life-sustaining treatment (if you choose)
Why is an LPA Important?
Many people assume their spouse or children can automatically make decisions on their behalf if something happens to them.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.Without a valid LPA in place, your loved ones may need to apply to the Court of Protection for authority to act on your behalf. This process can be lengthy, costly, and stressful at an already difficult time.
Having an LPA in place ensures that the people you trust most can step in and support you when needed.
Why Act Now?
A Lasting Power of Attorney can only be created while you have the mental capacity to make one.
By putting arrangements in place today, you remain in control of who will act for you tomorrow.
An LPA provides:
✓ Security for you
✓ Reassurance for your family
✓ Protection of your wishes
✓ Greater control over future decisions
✓ Peace of mind for everyone involved
