Lasting Power of Attorney

There may come a time when you lose the ability to communicate or make decisions for yourself or find it difficult to manage your affairs. It is important to consider setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney in advance of that time, as it can make things a lot simpler if and when that time comes.

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document whereby you could expressly grant permission to any other individual (your 'attorney') to make decisions on your behalf, manage your welfare or look after your personal affairs. Having a Lasting Power of Attorney in place helps you feel secure knowing that should you lose your ability to make decisions for yourself, that someone you trust has been granted authority to act in your best interest and take care of matters such as choices to be made over a course of medical treatment or care, paying your bills, taking decisions about your assets and belongings or even handling your finances. In the absence of a valid Lasting Power of Attorney in place, your family would have to bear the burden of a long and expensive process of applying to the court for a deputyship order to make decisions for you. A Lasting Power of Attorney is not permanent and can always be cancelled at any time.
