Lasting Powers of Attorney

Live for today, plan for tomorrow

A Lasting Power of Attorney gives you more control over what happens to you if you have a serious accident or illness and can’t make your own decisions.

Making your Lasting Powers of Attorney whilst you’re in good health, is simply sensible planning.

Think of Lasting Powers of Attorney as a little like insurance - we hope we never have to use it, but it’s invaluable protection if needed.

Essential legal protection

It’s important to make Lasting Powers of Attorney if you have been diagnosed with an illness which could mean you’re less able to make decisions for yourself in the future.

The kinds of illness that might prevent you from making decisions for yourself include:

  • dementia

  • mental health problems

  • brain injury

  • alcohol or drug misuse

  • the side-effects of medical treatment

You must be 18 or over and be able to make your own decisions at the time you make your Lasting Powers of Attorney.
