Someone must act on your behalf to carry out your personal and financial affairs if you lose capacity due to an accident or disease such as a stroke or dementia. If you lose your legal capacity to make decisions for yourself, your bank accounts will be frozen until you can nominate someone to make decisions for you. Friends and family may be distressed because bills cannot be paid and pensions or benefits cannot be accessed.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to choose someone to manage your affairs if you are unable to do so.
There are two types of LPAs: one that allows you to pick who can make financial decisions for you (LPA Property & Finance) and another that allows you to choose who can make personal, medical, or care decisions for you (LPA Personal, Medical, and Care) (LPA Health & Welfare).
Obtaining a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) when someone has lost mental capacity can be extremely difficult, if not impossible. If this is the case, other, more expensive choices should be considered. A Deputyship Order is one of these choices, which is more expensive and has more restrictions than an LPA. We always advise obtaining a Lasting Power of Attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your affairs are handled by the person you choose rather than the courts. It also means you won’t have to pay high legal fees.
