Do you have a LPA in place? If not why not? It is a quick and simple process and you can start the ball rolling today.
Why you need a LPA. If you lose mental capacity and are no longer able to make decisions for yourself regarding your financial affairs or your health and welfare you need to appoint someone to act for you. This needs to be done formally and registered with the courts. Who would you prefer to act on your behalf, someone you had never met, appointed by the court of protection, or someone you knew well and trusted?
It’s an obvious decision. Act today. Make sure your affairs are dealt with in accordance with your wishes and not someone elses!
