Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
An LPA allows you to appoint an individual who will be your legal representative if declining mental or physical health leaves you unable to manage your own financial wellbeing.
If only life was straight forward but unfortunately it rarely is, and nobody knows what is around the corner. Many assume that when they fall ill their family and loved ones will be able to make important decisions on their behalf and access their finances to assist with medical care and treatment.
However, this is not always possible, but by setting-up an LPA you authorise someone - your attorney - to manage your personal affairs, including your property and finances, in the event that you lose mental capacity and are unable to make decisions yourself.
