A third of people don’t know what LPAs are and why they should have one, according to research.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint a person – who is commonly referred to as the Attorney – to make decisions on your behalf should you ever lose the mental capacity to do so yourself.
Setting up an LPA and choosing the right Attorney is something that should never be taken lightly. The individual you settle on will be responsible for looking after matters related to your health and welfare as well as your property and financial affairs if it ever becomes necessary, so it is essential that the document is set up correctly and the Attorney is both reliable and trustworthy.
