What is LPA?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document and a deed that empowers you to plan for the unexpected. This allows you to appoint a trusted individual(s) known as your “donee(s)” to make decisions on your behalf should you lose your mental capacity in the future. This could be due to reasons like dementia, a severe accident, or even a temporary illness. The LPA also gives the authority to the Donee to sign deeds on the Donor’s behalf.
Some examples of deeds include:
-
An instrument used to appoint another individual to act on your behalf
-
An instrument used to transfer an interest in immovable property (in the case of an LPA, Donee(s) may be able to do so on behalf of the Donor if they are granted property & affairs powers as defined in the LPA)
Benefits of LPA
Peace of mind: Knowing your loved ones are not burdened by complex choices during a difficult time, knowing your wishes are being respected even if you could not express them yourself provides immense comfort for you and your loved ones.
Empowerment: You get to choose the person(s) you trust to make decisions in your best interest.
Avoids Complication in Court: Having an LPA eliminates the need for a lengthy & stressful court process to appoint a deputy should you lose mental capacity without an LPA in place. It is also cheaper than applying for a Deputyship Order through the court.
Complete Your Future Planning with the Advance Medical Directive (AMD)
While a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) ensures your financial and personal welfare decisions are managed by someone you trust if you lose mental capacity, an Advance Medical Directive (AMD) addresses a different, but equally crucial, aspect of future planning.
An AMD is your legally binding declaration stating that you do not wish to receive extraordinary life-sustaining treatment in the event of terminal illness or irreversible unconsciousness. It's your voice for your future healthcare wishes.
Together, an LPA and AMD provide comprehensive protection, ensuring both your personal affairs and your end-of-life medical preferences are clearly known and respected.
