Planning for the future can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to protecting your finances and health. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) ensures your wishes are followed if you ever lose the capacity to make decisions yourself. But do you really need a solicitor to set one up? At Libra LPA, we believe the answer is no, because our team of LPA experts provides full, step-by-step guidance, so you can complete your LPA safely, accurately, and without unnecessary legal fees.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
An LPA is a legal document that allows you to appoint trusted individuals, called attorneys, to make decisions on your behalf. There are two types:
- Property and Financial Affairs LPA: Covers money, bills, property, and investments.
- Health and Welfare LPA: Covers health care, medical treatment, and day-to-day wellbeing.
Having an LPA in place ensures your wishes are respected and reduces the risk of disputes or delays in decision-making.
