Managing personal financial affairs

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

An LPA is a legal document that you (the Donor) make using a special form. It allows you to choose someone now (the Attorney) that you trust to make decisions on your behalf about things such as your property and affairs or personal welfare at a time in the future when you no longer wish to make those decisions or you may lack the mental capacity to make those decisions yourself.

For more information on the Power of Attorney please visit the Public Guardain website.
