A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that sets out who will make decisions on your behalf should you become unable to due to illness or other circumstances.

There are two different types of Lasting Powers of Attorney: ‘Health & Welfare’ and ‘Property & Financial Affairs’. You can make either or both types of LPA.

The best way to think about Lasting Powers of Attorney is to ask yourself the question, “Who would I trust to deal with my money, property or my welfare if I couldn’t manage?”.

 Often the chosen attorneys are husband or wife or children, or other relatives or very trusted friends – people who know you well and who you can totally trust.
