Lasting Power of Attorney

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint a person whom you trust to make important decisions regarding your affairs should you no longer have the mental capacity to do so yourself.

Setting up an LPA allows you to choose someone close to you to deal with your finances, property, personal healthcare and overall welfare.
