Lasting Powers of Attorney
An LPA is a legal document allowing you to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so.
There are two types of LPA: Health & Welfare, and Property & Finance
Benefits

Ensure someone you trust manages your affairs.
Financial and Health Alternatives
You can choose different people to handle health care choices and financial matters
LPA for Property and Financial Affairs
LPA’s can only be used once they have been registered with the Office of Public Guardian.
They are used for dealing with everyday financial affairs for example collecting benefits, paying bills, investing money, buying or selling property and generally looking after the financial affairs of the donor (you).
LPA for Health and Welfare
These are used for care and medical decisions.
They give one or more trusted persons the legal power to make decisions regarding your health and welfare
Your Attorney can make important decisions for example, refusal of medical treatment, where you are cared for and the type of care you receive.
