Lasting Power Of Attorney

LPA’s are a brilliant way to ensure that your wishes are adhered too, should you lose capacity in the future.

Joint LPA’s

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you and your partner to appoint people you trust to make decisions on your behalf if either of you becomes unable to do so.

For couples, LPAs are often put in place together, typically appointing each other first, with additional attorneys named as a backup. This ensures that if one of you is unable to manage finances or make important decisions, the other can step in smoothly and legally.

There are two types of LPA. A Property and Financial Affairs LPA covers matters such as managing money, paying bills, and handling property. A Health and Welfare LPA allows decisions to be made about care, medical treatment, and day-to-day wellbeing.

Many people assume their partner can automatically act for them, but this isn’t the case. Without an LPA, even a spouse may face delays, restrictions, or the need to apply through the courts.

Putting LPAs in place together helps avoid uncertainty and ensures that both of you are protected, with clear authority given to the people you trust most.

Single LPA’s

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to choose someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to do so yourself.

For individuals, putting an LPA in place is one of the most important steps in planning ahead. It ensures that, should illness or an accident affect your ability to make decisions, someone you trust is legally authorised to step in and manage things for you.

There are two types of LPA. A Property and Financial Affairs LPA covers matters such as managing bank accounts, paying bills, or handling property. A Health and Welfare LPA allows your chosen person to make decisions about your care, medical treatment, and day-to-day wellbeing.

Without an LPA, even close family members do not automatically have the authority to act on your behalf. This can lead to delays, added costs, and difficult decisions being made through the courts.

Putting an LPA in place keeps you in control. It ensures your wishes are respected and gives reassurance that the right person can step in if needed.
