Lasting Powers of Attorney
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which allows you to appoint someone to manage your affairs and make decisions for you if mental incapacity prevents you from doing so.
Mental incapacity can occur at any point in life without warning, young or old. In a young person, an accident or injury may lead to a degree of mental incapacity, and in older people, the mental incapacity may arise through Alzheimer's or dementia.
Making a Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to plan and make provisions in advance of any unforeseen circumstances so that your health and financial affairs will always be taken care of.
