Debbie Marshall, Managing LPAs & discretionary fund management
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you (the ‘donor’) appoint one or more people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.
When acting
as an attorney for a donor’s fi nances under an LPA, you must ensure that you manage their fi nances responsibly. If a
donor used a
discretionary fund manager, we would suggest a responsible attorney may wish to continue the arrangement rather than allow inflation to diminish the donor’s assets in a savings account. Making a judgement regarding risk appetite cuts both ways – ensuring you follow the previous course of action may ensure you remain responsible. The best solution for the donor is to have appropriate wording in their LPA from the start. • For further advice, or to arrange a meeting, contact Edward Walter at Buss Murton Law on 01892 502320 or email

Director of Silver Travel Advisor, said: “The over 50s have a growing passion for travel, and the majority have the time, resources and good health to make continuing to explore the world a reality. These awards give them the opportunity to commend the companies which truly understand the needs of the mature traveller, and best deliver for them on the ground, in the air and on the water.” The awards, now in their third
year, have been expanded to a total of 17 travel categories and are voted for exclusively by consumers, with more than 7,000 votes already cast in the opening few days. The 17 main categories for 2017 include: Best Ocean Cruise Line, Best City Breaks Operator, Best Operator for the Single Traveller and Best Self-Catering Accommodation. • Voting is open until 30th April 2017 at https://www.

RETIREMENT INCOME: WILL YOU HAVE ENOUGH?
People planning to retire this year are expecting to live on an average annual income of £18,100, according to the latest research by Prudential. The fi gure now stands at its highest level since 2008 and shows a fourth consecutive annual increase. Each year Prudential conducts its unique research into the fi nancial plans and aspirations of people planning to retire in the year ahead. This year’s retirees – the Class of 2017 – expect an income £400 a year higher than those who gave up work in 2016, whose average expected annual retirement income was £17,700. Expected retirement incomes have now risen consistently since 2013 when they hit a low of £15,300. However, the study, now in its 10th year, shows that expected incomes are still struggling to recover to their pre-fi nancial crisis levels, remaining below the 2008 peak of £18,700.
