One LPA does not cover every decision.
There are two separate types of Lasting Power of Attorney in England and Wales:
🏡 Property and financial affairs
This can allow your attorneys to manage matters such as bank accounts, bills, pensions, investments and property. Once registered, it may be used with your permission while you still have mental capacity.
❤️ Health and welfare
This can cover decisions about medical treatment, care, daily routines and where you live. It can only be used when you are unable to make the particular decision yourself.
You can make either type—or both—but one does not provide the powers included in the other.
Talk to us about whether both LPAs belong in your plans and how to ensure they are set up to work as intended.
