Lasting Power of Attorney: Take Control of Your Future

Planning for the future means more than just writing a will. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) empowers you to nominate someone you trust to manage your affairs if you’re ever unable to do so due to illness, injury, or age. At Legatum Planning, we help you secure peace of mind by ensuring your affairs are in the hands of someone you trust.

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

An LPA is a legal document that allows you to appoint one or more trusted individuals (known as attorneys) to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself. There are two types of LPAs:

Property & Financial Affairs LPA
This enables your chosen attorney to manage your finances, including operating bank accounts, paying bills, managing investments, and buying or selling property. This ensures that your financial matters are always handled efficiently, even when you’re not able to manage them.
Health & Welfare LPA
This covers personal decisions such as your medical treatment, where you live, and even life-sustaining treatment decisions. It comes into effect only if you can’t make these decisions yourself.

"Power of attorney: your voice and values, safeguarded."

Why Do You Need an LPA?

Avoid Delays and Extra Costs: Without an LPA, your loved ones would need to apply for a Deputyship through the Court of Protection, which can be a lengthy and costly process.
Business Protection: If you’re a business owner, an LPA can ensure that trusted partners or colleagues can make important business decisions on your behalf.
Comprehensive Decision-Making: You can appoint family members to make decisions not only about your finances but also about your health and welfare, giving you complete control over your future care.
