Lasting Power of Attorney… Don’t wait until it is too late!
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives authority to another person to act on your behalf. It prevents a stranger, or someone you don’t trust, from having this power.
Without an LPA, if you become ill and/or cannot make your own decisions, your loved ones (including your spouse or partner) must apply to a court for these powers – adding significant cost and time.
Creating an LPA in advance of any situation where you are unable to make decisions for yourself makes sure that your affairs and welfare will be looked after by someone you trust.
There are two types of LPA:
Property and Financial Affairs
The “attorney” can take care of financial decisions for you including communicating with banks and financial organisations, paying bills, deciding what happens to a property.
Health and Welfare
The “attorney” can make decisions around care and residence, and ongoing or life sustaining treatment.
Our trusted partners, Morecambe Bay Wills and Estates Limited, provide a fixed-fee personal service and there are no complicated forms for you to complete
As with their will writing, they can see you at home, at their Lancaster offices or over video. Once your Power of Attorney is in place, they will continue to guide you and your family as and when you need advice.
