A Power of Attorney is a legal document which enables you to appoint someone to manage and make decisions about your affairs in the event that you are unable to do so.
There are different types of power of attorney for different purposes but most well-known our Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA). There are two types of LPAs: One for property and finance and one for health and care. We would be happy to discuss the various options with you to ensure you put in place the right one for you.
One of the benefits of having an LPA in place is the reassurance of knowing that in the future, if you are no longer able to make decisions for yourself, you have appointed someone you know and trust to make those decisions for you, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind.
