A lasting power of attorney is a way of ensuring that your wishes about your estate and care are adhered to even when you are no longer able to make these decisions yourself.
This situation could arise if you have an accident or become ill and too unwell to look after your own interests. Solicitors in North Wales can advise on your options and help you to complete the appropriate paperwork.
Anyone can have a lasting power of attorney and, even if you are currently fit and healthy, it is worth thinking about these in the event of future changes to your health. Anything from a brain injury to dementia could happen, and it is always wise to prepare for these, even if they ultimately do not happen.
When you start working on your lasting power of attorney, it is crucial that you choose someone to manage your affairs who your trust implicitly. It will be this individual or individuals who could be making decisions about your money or health care, so it is also advisable that you speak to them in detail about your wishes before they are written down. In this way, there will be no misunderstandings, and everyone is comfortable about their roles. Solicitors in Conwyn can advise you when you choose your attorneys and tell you about the types of decisions they will be able to make about you.
