Lasting Powers of Attorney

Plan for the Future with Confidence
At Local Will Expert, we understand that thinking about a time when you may be unable to make decisions for yourself is difficult. However, creating a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) now can ease the burden on your family and ensure that your wishes are carried out if the unexpected happens. Whether due to illness, an accident, or aging, an LPA helps manage your affairs smoothly and reduces the stress and cost for your loved ones during challenging times.

A Lasting Power of Attorney

Nominate trusted individuals (Attorneys) to manage your personal and financial affairs
Avoid the time and costs involved in applying for a Deputyship through the Court of Protection
Appoint business partners or others to run your business if you are no longer able to do so
Ensure family members can make decisions about your finances, health, and welfare
Include any restrictions or guidance for your Attorneys, tailored to your wishes
Have it registered with the Office of the Public Guardian, ensuring it is ready to use when needed

Types of Lasting Powers of Attorney

Property and Financial Affairs LPA

This LPA deals with your property, savings, and other assets. You can specify that it only takes effect if you lose mental capacity, or you can allow it to be used more broadly—for instance, if you’re temporarily unwell, dealing with mobility issues, or traveling abroad. This ensures your finances and assets are managed according to your wishes.

Health and Welfare LPA

This LPA governs your healthcare and treatment decisions. Unlike the Property and Financial Affairs LPA, this can only be used if you are no longer able to make decisions yourself. You can grant your Attorney the authority to make choices regarding your medical treatment and care, ensuring your preferences
are respected.
