Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is an arrangement which will allow a chosen person to act on your behalf if at some point, you become unable to make your own decisions; there is no end date to this particular agreement. Using solicitors in Caernarfon will help you draw up this document alongside your Will.
Although there are two different types of LPA, many legal advisors would recommend you have both in place. The first one deals with property and financial affairs and covers issues such as monetary assets, bank accounts, benefits and any debts and bills which need paying.
The other sort of Lasting Power of Attorney outlines issues of health and welfare. If it is determined that you are not of sound mind at any time in your life, this document can detail how you are cared for. This could include medical care and even dealing with daily tasks such as your personal care and diet.
Wills solicitors in North Wales will help you to draw up and register these documents; they could also help you to declare that you are of sound mind when this is done so they are legally binding and correct. It is vital that LPA documents are completed with your solicitor when you are still deemed to have capacity.
