Trethowans: Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
It would be nice to think that your retirement and old age will be worry free. It can be. Advance thought and preparation can pay dividends for you and your loved ones at a time when you may be less able to cope by yourself.
Some people are lucky enough never to need help with their fi nancial or personal arrangements. For many, though, health issues or general slowing down in old age mean that decisions and action on day- to-day matters (which seem routine when you were younger and fi tter) need to be taken by someone else on your behalf.
If you take no steps to make arrangements yourself, then the only course of action may be the appointment of a Deputy through the Court of Protection. The Court will oversee the actions of your Deputy and complicated work is necessary to comply with the Court’s requirements. A level of formality is needed which can seem harsh and intrusive, not to mention expensive.
The alternative is for you to make decisions yourself ahead of the diffi cult times which you may face in the future, in the form of a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for either your fi nancial or welfare affairs or both. An
LPA enables you to appoint people of your choice to handle your affairs and gives your personal authority to them to act with greater ease on your behalf.
It is important to note that if you have already made an Enduring Power of Attorney it will probably still be effective, but it would be sensible to take advice on whether a welfare LPA would suit your future needs.
Trethowans LLP has a large established team, ready to give you the benefi t of their experience, understanding and professionalism.
