What Is An LPA?
By 2025, more than 1 million people in the UK will have dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Society. One in five people over 85 already suffers from it, with rates significantly higher among women than men. Handling your financial affairs becomes virtually impossible – which is why charities who care for the elderly recommend everyone plans ahead to ease the potential burden on our relatives.
Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) are a legal documents in which you appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf. The person so appointed is referred to as an ‘Attorney’.
We all know that we should write a Will, but too few of us know we should also consider Lasting Powers of Attorney.
