Protection and peace of mind
Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) are an essential part of any estate planning strategy. They should be considered by everyone, regardless of age or health. By taking a proactive approach to creating an LPA, you can guarantee that, should the need arise, your affairs will be taken care of by trusted individuals that you have specifically appointed.
LPAs provide peace of mind to individuals and families alike. They are legal documents which allow you to appoint people you trust to make decisions on your behalf (acting as your attorneys) should you become unable to do so yourself in the future.
There are two types of LPAs: Property and Financial Affairs LPA and Health and Welfare LPA. The former applies to your finances and property, while the latter allows decisions to be made about your medical treatment and social care. In the absence of suitable powers of attorney, decisions about your care may be taken out of your loved ones’ hands, so LPAs have the potential to save a lot of upset and distress.
