Managing your financial and property matters can become challenging if you are unable to make decisions due to a loss of mental capacity. Loss of capacity can affect anyone, at any age, and may occur temporarily or permanently as a result of illness, accident, or medical conditions.

By making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for Property and Financial Affairs, you appoint a trusted person (your attorney) to manage your financial matters if and when you are unable to do so. This ensures continuity, protection of your assets, and peace of mind for you and your family.

Having an LPA in place can also help prevent uncertainty or disputes among family members regarding who should manage your finances and property, and what decisions should be made on your behalf.
