Lasting Power of Attorney
What would happen if you
could not look after your money every day or make your own
financial or welfare decisions?
What is a Lasting Power of
Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a
legal document that enables you to appoint someone to
make decisions about your welfare, money or property.
Obtaining a Power of Attorney -
protecting your future wellbeing
This is a real risk to us all, so
it is important to take steps now to choose someone you trust to
manage and protect your wellbeing in the future. An attorney is
someone who can act on your behalf should you or a relative be
unable to do so.
If illness or incapacity hinders
you from dealing with your own day to day affairs, you can prepare
a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) to appoint someone committed to
looking after your best interests.
An LPA is a legal document that
enables someone (the donor) to appoint one or more persons
(attorney(s)) to manage their financial affairs, welfare and
property, either now or in the future.
A Deputyship is the fall back for
someone who has lost the capacity to look after his or her own
affairs where no power of attorney exists. This means
that your financial capital and affairs will be managed by the
Court of Protection in London, typically through a relation who
will be the Deputy and who will receive income to apply it for
your benefit while the Court of Protection will control your
capital.
