Sometimes people wish to plan ahead and set out what they would like to happen should they become unable to make decisions for themselves in the future.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that enables a person (the Donor) to choose another person or persons (teams) to make decisions on their behalf.
A personal welfare LPA can only be used by your teams to make decisions for you in relation to your personal welfare when you are incapable of making those decisions yourself.
You can include restrictions and guidance for your teams in both types of the LPA.
Both types of the LPA can only be used when they are registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.
An LPA is a powerful and important document and you should seek advice from people who are experienced in preparing them. We are able to offer you legal advice and can if you wish assist you in completing the forms.
