What is a Lasting Power of Attorney

UK Lasting Power of Attorney documents replaced the Enduring Power of Attorney from the 1st October 2007. However if you already have an Enduring Power of Attorney that was fully and correctly signed by both the donor and all attorneys prior to the end of September 2007 this will still be valid.

A Lasting Power of Attorney or LPA, is one or two legal documents which empowers a named person or persons to look after the Property and Affairs and Personal Welfare of another person.

Unlike the old enduring power of attorney you can now appoint someone to make personal welfare decisions in addition to financial and business decisions if you should become incapable of making these for yourself.

So why is having a Lasting Power so important?

The Alzheimer's Society estimates that there are currently over 750,000 people in the UK with dementia, many of these may go on to become mentally incapable.

Having a nominated attorney or number of attorneys will ensure that if you become one of this growing number of people you would have appointed people you know and trust to manage your affairs.
