An LPA is equally as important, if not more, than your will.
Most understand the importance of writing a Will, a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is equally if not more important.
An LPA is a legal document that enables you to appoint one or more to make decisions on your behalf regarding your Finances and Health & Welfare. An LPA must be completed whilst you have mental capacity, many leave this too late and rue the decision.
There are two types of LPA namely; Property & Financial Affairs which may be used once registered and whilst you still have mental capacity; AND Health & Welfare which can only be used once mental capacity is lost and you are unable to make decision for yourself.
Without an LPA any loss of mental capacity, however brief, may result in your family encountering difficulties in terms of the day to day running of your finances and lack of input in terms of your treatment and care. It also provides opportunity for you to express your own wishes and for them to be known in advance.
We offer a professional will writing service that we guide you through, from initial consultation to the completion of your last will & testament.
