Health and Welfare LPA

A Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document allowing you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions about your healthcare, living arrangements, and personal welfare if you become unable to do so yourself. It ensures your preferences are respected and provides peace of mind that a chosen individual will act in your best interests regarding medical treatments, daily care, and where you live. This formal arrangement only takes effect if you're incapacitated, and it must be registered with the relevant authority before it can be used.
