What is a Lasting Powers of Attorney?

A Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) is a document that gives someone or several people you appoint the legal authority to act of your behalf. The named person is called Your Attorney and could be a family member, professional person or a trusted friend.

The LPA gives you more control over what happens to you should you have an accident or illness that reduces your capacity to make sound decisions.

Are there different types of LPA?

Property and Financial Affairs

Engaging a Property and Financial Affairs LPA, gives you the peace of mind that your chosen Attorney can make sure your assets are looked after. The Attorney will ensure your bills, including mortgages and outstanding debts, are continued to be paid. They will furthermore look after your investments and invest funds to provide for your ongoing needs.

Your Attorney can potentially look after:

Managing a bank or building society account
Paying bills
Collecting benefits or a pension
Selling your home

Health and Welfare LPA

This type of Lasting Power of Attorney provides your Attorney with the power to make crucial decisions regarding your health and welfare. More importantly, they can make decisions regarding your life-sustaining treatment should the worst happen.

Your Attorney could help with the below decisions:

Your daily routine, for example, washing, dressing, eating
Medical care
Moving into a care home
Life-sustaining treatment
