Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows a person to appoint someone they trust to make decisions on their behalf if they can no longer do so themselves due to illness or incapacity. There are two main types of LPA: one for health and welfare decisions, and another for property and financial matters. Creating an LPA ensures that your wishes are respected and that someone responsible can manage your affairs, providing peace of mind for both you and your loved ones. It’s important to set this up while you are still capable of making decisions.
