Getting Power of Attorney in place will allow those friends or family you trust to manage your affairs when you cannot do it for yourself.

If you already have an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) in place it will need to be registered to allow your attorney(s) to continue helping you with your property & finances if you have lost mental capacity. If you haven’t got an EPA, we recommend you set up a Lasting Power of Attorney – Property & Financial Affairs (LPA.PFA) which is the current equivalent, and this has to be registered before your attorney(s) can help you.

It would be a sensible next step to also put in place a Lasting Power of Attorney – Health & Welfare (LPA.HW) because this permits your attorney(s) to deal with you and all of your personal and welfare needs, but only when you cannot say so yourself.

Having both LPAs in place is vital these days and will make life far simpler for your chosen attorney(s) to help you when you need it most.

We can guide you through the process to make sure your LPAs are personalised to your own needs and wishes, we will register them and provide certified copies where appropriate.

If your loved-one has already been diagnosed with dementia it will be too late to set up LPAs, the action you should now take is to apply to the Court of Protection to become their Deputy.
