A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document where you nominate a family member, friend or other acquaintance to be your ‘attorney’ and manage your affairs should the need arise.

There are two types of LPA. A health and welfare LPA gives your attorney permission to make decisions about your healthcare and medical treatment should you lose mental capacity. A property and financial affairs LPA allows your attorney to manage assets such as your property and your bank account. You do not have to have lost mental capacity for the property and financial affairs LPA to become active.
