Wills & Probate - Lasting Powers of Attorney
If you feel unable to manage yourself, you might feel the need to ask a member of the family or a professional or trusted friend to manage your personal business affairs.
mosshaselhurst can help by preparing a lasting power of attorney for you. We will also handle the registration of this document with the authorities.
Preparing and registering a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) means that you will be able to choose who would manage your general and business affairs if you become unable to manage yourself.
Things that would be managed on your behalf will include your property, your financial affairs and your general and business affairs.
The person that you choose to manage these matters is then known as your Attorney – a person that you may change at any time.
Your chosen person (Attorney) would start to manage your affairs either when you choose or when you become mentally incapable (This has safeguards that are governed by The Court of Protection).
Lasting Powers of Atorney can also be used to cover welfare matters in addition to financial matters – therefore, you can allow your chosen person (Attorney) to be able to decide where you live and what medical treatment you may need.
mosshaselhurst can help you with the choice of Attorney and the level of power that you would like to give them.
