A Lasting Power of Attorney is a document which can be prepared by a person with capacity to appoint who they wish to make decisions on their behalf.
A Lasting Power of Attorney can deal with both your financial affairs and/or health and personal welfare issues.
A Lasting Power of Attorney needs to be registered with the Public Guardianship Office.
It is important that a Lasting Power of Attorney is completed before a person loses their capacity.
