There may come a time in your life when you consider how your capacity to make certain judgments is affecting you or may be affecting you in the future. As a result, you may have heard of the option of appointing an attorney, but what exactly is a “power of attorney”?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that someone (the Donor) signs providing someone they trust (the Attorney) the authority to make decisions on the Donor’s behalf in the future if he or she loses mental ability or no longer wishes to do so.
The Donor must be at least 18 years old and capable of making an LPA. Any identified individual with mental ability who is 18 or older can act as an Attorney if all of the necessary information is appropriately stated on the LPA Form.
When you’re unable or unwilling to make decisions on your own, a power of attorney comes in handy. Your family members don’t have the legal authority to act on your behalf without your permission, so you’ll need to nominate someone using a formal power of attorney instrument.

Anyone can create an LPA, and we recommend that you do so in addition to making a Will. Although most people imagine using LPA to manage the affairs of an older family suffering from dementia, disorders that impair your ability to make decisions about your health, welfare, or finances can affect anyone at any age. Some conditions that may necessitate the use of an LPA include:
Dementia
Alzheimer’s
Stroke
Accidental brain damage
Impaired by drugs or alcohol
Coma
Concussion
The illness that requires you to set up an LPA could be short-term, such as an injury that requires a hospital stay, or long-term, such as an ongoing mental health issue or a stroke.
If the worst happens, having Power of Attorney in place ensures your chosen attorney won’t have to go to court to manage your affairs while simultaneously dealing with the broader implications of your position.
