It’s never easy to think of a time when you may not be in control of your own affairs. What if illness or incapacity affects your ability to look after your future? Sometimes, an unforeseen event can render you unable to deal with your affairs. But as soon as your LPA has been set up and registered, you have the peace of mind knowing your Attorney(s) can step in immediately.
The Health and Welfare LPA covers your Medical and Welfare arrangements. It does not give your Attorneys permission to make decisions for you on your behalf unless you lose mental capacity. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 is designed to protect and empower people who may lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions about their care and treatment including those with dementia, a brain injury, mental health illness or a stroke.
The Financial and Property LPA deals with aspects such as your banking, investments, property and household bills. Unlike the Health and Welfare LPA which is only triggered when a Donor loses mental capacity, the Financial and Property LPA can be used and acted upon as soon as you wish. You can retain full control over all your affairs, but you also have the flexibility to start withdrawing from your decisions and actions over time.
At Simply LPA we know that creating LPAs can be an uncomfortable process for many people. We therefore offer our clients as much time as they need, answering as many questions as they like and offering guidance throughout the whole process.
We just wanted to say thank you so much for your patience and kindness whilst doing our LPAs.
Things have been pretty tough for us of late, but your personal knowledge and experience in these matters really did help.
Sharna, thank you so much for your help in providing Mum with an LPA.
She was so set against the idea and if it hadn’t been for your understanding in dealing with sensitive issues, I know we would still be trying to get things sorted.
Excellent Service. Efficient, professional, always returning calls when promised and all at a fair price.
We will be recommending your services.
Many thanks
Many people think that if they were to lose mental capacity due to an illness or accident, their partner/spouse could simply take over all their property, financial affairs and healthcare decisions. Without an LPA this cannot happen. The Mental Health Capacity Act is designed to protect people who have lost the capacity to make decisions for themselves. Without an LPA it could be very difficult for your family even if property and bank accounts are jointly owned. In many cases an application to the Court of Protection to become a deputy is required. This gives similar powers to that of an Attorney. But it’s a time-consuming and expensive process.
When a Lasting Power of Attorney has already been drawn up and registered, the situation is considerably easier.
