Powers of
Attorney
You
may want to prepare for a time when you no longer wish
to handle your personal affairs yourself or,
unfortunately, you may even be incapable of doing so.
We
can help you to minimise problems in this area by
advising and assisting you in the preparation of a
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) whereby you can nominate
people who you trust to make decisions on your behalf.
For
example, property and affairs LPA’s can be used to
appoint attorneys to make a range of decisions –
including the buying and selling of property, operating
a bank account, dealing with tax affairs and claiming
benefits. Whereas a personal welfare LPA might authorise
attorneys to make decisions about where you should live,
consenting to or refusing medical treatment on your
behalf and day-to-day care.
