Lasting Power of Attorney

Put the Right Lasting Power of Attorney in Place Before You Need It

Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney helps you plan ahead by giving someone you trust the legal authority to make decisions for you if you are ever unable to make them yourself. In England and Wales, there are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney: one for property and financial affairs and one for health and welfare.

This means you can choose trusted people to help manage things such as your money, bills, home, care, and medical decisions if illness, injury, or loss of mental capacity affects your ability to act for yourself.

A Lasting Power of Attorney is not just for later life. It is a practical step for anyone who wants more control over what happens if the unexpected occurs, and it must be made and registered before it can be used.

Why do you need a lasting power of attorney?

Benefits of Lasting Power of Attorney:
