Make Your Lasting Power of Attorney Before It's Too Late

As much as we all hope to stay fit and well for the rest of our lives, there may come a time when we are unable to make vital decisions.

You can designate a family member or friend to make these decisions for you if you lose mental capacity. This will give you piece of mind.

 

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) permits you to designate someone you trust to operate on your behalf (the attorney). One sort of LPA is for property and finance, while the other is for personal welfare.

More and more people are now, when making or amending their Will, also creating a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA).

An LPA is a document in which a person can set out their desires, both in terms of finances, and their health and wellbeing, should they lose mental capacity for any reason.

It is unfortunately a sad reality of life that while we are all living longer, the prevalence of dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease and strokes is increasing, meaning there may come a time when we are unable to manage our own affairs.

An LPA nominates a person, who is usually a family member or friend, to act as your ‘Attorney’ should you no longer be capable of managing your affairs. In such an event, the Attorney is able to register the LPA with your bank, and various other organisations, and will be able to handle your finances, pay bills and do all of the other day to day tasks that you are no longer able to do.

It is also possible to set out in an LPA your desires for your future medical treatment – there may be certain procedures, or outcomes that you do not wish to have to endure – setting these out in an LPA ensures that your wishes in this regard will be honoured, even if you are no longer able to express those wishes yourself.

The important aspect of LPAs is that they must be made while you still have mental capacity. They cannot be made once a person becomes incapable. As such, at Abbey Broadway we advise all clients, however old and in whatever state of health, to consider making an LPA, to ensure that should the worst happen and mental capacity is lost, their wishes are already recorded and will be honoured.

We keep these prices deliberately low in the hope of encouraging people to make LPAs – rather like Wills, they can often be put off, or thought of as being something unnecessary at the present moment – but it is often the case that when they are really needed, when mental capacity begins to deteriorate, it is too late to take one out.

We also offer an entirely free, no obligation LPA review service, to discuss your circumstances and whether an LPA would be of benefit to you.

Why Do You Need A Lasting Power of Attorney in Place

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint one or more people to make decisions on your behalf, should you lack mental capacity to make your own decisions in the future

There are 2 Types of Lasting Powers of Attorney, One deals with your finances and one deals with your health

LPA FOR HEALTH & WELFARE AFFAIRS
LPA FOR FINANCIAL & PROPERTY AFFAIRS

10 Reasons Why You Should Have A Lasting Power of Attorney In Place

  1. Decision-making control: Setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to retain control over who will make important decisions on your behalf when you are unable to do so. You can choose someone you trust implicitly to act in your best interests, ensuring that your wishes are honored.
  2. Unforeseen incapacity: Life is unpredictable, and accidents or sudden illnesses can occur at any time, rendering you temporarily or permanently incapacitated. Having an LPA in place ensures that your affairs are managed without delay by someone you have authorised.
  3. Avoiding court-appointed guardianship: Without an LPA, if you become incapacitated and unable to make decisions, the court may appoint a guardian or deputy to act on your behalf. This process can be time-consuming, expensive, and may result in someone making decisions for you whom you would not have chosen yourself.
  4. Personalised decision-making: An LPA allows you to provide specific instructions to your chosen attorney about how you want your financial, healthcare, and personal welfare matters handled. This ensures that your values and preferences are respected even if you cannot express them directly.
  5. Financial management: With a Property and Financial Affairs LPA, your appointed attorney can handle financial matters such as paying bills, managing investments, and ensuring your assets are protected during periods of incapacity.
  6. Healthcare decisions: The Health and Welfare LPA empowers your chosen attorney to make decisions about medical treatments, care options, and end-of-life choices based on your previously expressed wishes and best interests.
  7. Peace of mind for loved ones: By establishing an LPA, you relieve your loved ones of the burden of making difficult decisions without clear guidance from you. They can focus on supporting you emotionally rather than facing potential disagreements about what actions to take.
  8. Minimizing the risk of exploitation: Having an LPA in place reduces the likelihood of others taking advantage of your vulnerable state during incapacitation, as only your trusted attorney(s) will have the legal authority to act on your behalf.
  9. Flexibility in appointment: You can appoint multiple attorneys, specify when their authority becomes effective, and decide if they should act jointly or independently, providing flexibility in tailoring the LPA to your unique circumstances.
  10. Time and cost savings: Creating an LPA while you are mentally competent is generally quicker and less expensive than court proceedings required to appoint a deputy if you become incapacitated without an LPA.

In conclusion, having a Lasting Power of Attorney offers a multitude of advantages, from maintaining control over your decisions during incapacitation to protecting your assets and well-being. It grants you peace of mind and ensures that your best interests and preferences are respected, making it a crucial legal instrument to have in place for everyone’s future security and well-being.
