A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is an essential document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself. There are two types: one for managing your finances and property, and another for making decisions about your health and welfare. Having an LPA in place gives you peace of mind, knowing your affairs will be handled by someone you trust if the need arises.
The Risks of Not Having an LPA
Without an LPA, if you lose capacity, your family may need to apply for a Deputyship order through the Court of Protection. This process can be lengthy, costly, and complicated, with ongoing fees for court supervision and legal costs. It can also place additional stress on your loved ones at a time when they are already dealing with difficult circumstances.
