1 in 4 people will require care at some point in their lives.
Who would you like to manage your affairs if you couldn’t?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is the only way to give another individual the legal authority to make financial or health and welfare decisions on your behalf should you lose the capacity to do so. It’s not just for the elderly; younger people may also become incapacitated through accident or illness.
Many of us will care for, or know someone who is caring for, someone with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. With people living longer, mental illness is becoming more common and is a sad reality many of us will be faced with at some point in our lives.
By making a Lasting Power of Attorney you are ensuring that, should you ever face mental illness in the future, this difficult time will be made much easier for you and your loved ones.
Plan ahead now for a time when you may not have the mental capacity to make financial decisions
Mental illness is a sad reality many of us will face
Making a Lasting Power of Attorney will help you plan ahead to a time when you may not have the mental or physical capacity to look after your financial affairs or personal welfare.
Even when we are young, we can find ourselves incapacitated by illness or injury and it can be invaluable to have a reliable person who is able to manage your personal affairs and remove the anxiety of having unpaid bills, at a time when you most need peace of mind.
Appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf
We will assist you in creating a Lasting Power of Attorney which will allow you to appoint someone to act on your behalf. This will enable them to make decisions in your best interests, making a difficult time much easier for you and your loved ones.
“Make a difficult time easier for your loved ones.”
Don’t leave it too late
It’s imperative to make a Lasting Power of Attorney sooner rather than later, as Lasting Powers of Attorney can only be made while you still have mental capacity.
Once you lose mental capacity you will not be able to make a Lasting Power of Attorney and choose who deals with your affairs, instead your friends or family members will have to apply for Deputyship through the court of protection which may take over 8 months and can become very costly.
