Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
A Will protects and distributes your assets in accordance with your wishes after you die, a Power of Attorney allows somebody chosen by you to manage your assets and affairs and health decisions while you are alive.
If you become unable to deal with your financial affairs, for example
|
|
if you have a serious accident or |
|
|
become mentally incapable due to old age or illness |
then your husband/wife/partner/children will not have an automatic right to deal with your finances on your behalf.
Without a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, your next of kin will have a lengthy process applying to the Courts for authority to manage your affairs on your behalf. This is both costly and can take many months.
By making a Lasting Power of Attorney
You can have the peace of mind of knowing that if your health deteriorates you have appointed someone you can trust to look after your affairs on your behalf.
You must be mentally capable to make an LPA so don’t leave it until it’s too late!
