Lasting Power of Attorney
Lasting power of attorney is important, regardless of age!
Why?
Loss of Capacity is no longer confined to the elderly.
For example, a vehicular accident could render anyone incapacitated and unable to deal with their own affairs.
Many people are concerned about the impact of loss of capacity whether temporary or permanent during their lifetime and the effect this will have on their finances and their health and welfare. For example who will continue to manage my bank accounts and pay my bills? Who will look after my care arrangements and deal with my medical professionals?
The two types of Lasting Power of Attorney
-
Property and Financial Lasting Power of Attorney
Under this arrangement, your appointed attorneys will be able to act on your behalf and deal with your finances for example running bank accounts and paying bills. -
Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney
Attorneys appointed under this arrangement will act on your behalf and deal with your health and welfare when you have lost capacity. This can include the type of care you receive and where you may live including which care home.
We always suggest that professionals should act on your behalf in arranging such documents and guide you on the best way of appointing the attorneys.
