Lasting Power of Attorney
Protect Your Future Decisions
An LPA ensures that if you ever lose the ability to make decisions for yourself, the people you trust most will be in control, not the courts. Set one up today while you still can.
Why You Need an LPA
Don't leave your family powerless
Many people assume that their spouse or next of kin can automatically manage their affairs if they become incapacitated. This is a common and potentially devastating misconception. Without an LPA, your family may need to apply to the Court of Protection, a process that is slow, expensive, and emotionally draining.
An LPA means the right people will be making the right decisions on your behalf, whether that is managing your finances, selling your home, or making decisions about your medical care.
Two Types of LPA
Covering every aspect of your life
Property & Financial Affairs LPA
Allows your attorney to manage your bank accounts, pay bills, collect benefits, manage investments, and sell your property. Can be used while you still have capacity if you choose.
- Bank accounts & savings
- Bills & regular payments
- Property & investments
- Benefits & pensions
Health & Welfare LPA
Allows your attorney to make decisions about your medical treatment, care home arrangements, daily routine, and end-of-life care. Can only be used when you lack capacity.
- Medical treatment decisions
- Care home arrangements
- Daily routine & diet
- Life-sustaining treatment
