It is a common misconception that if you lose mental or physical capacity, your spouse or next of kin will automatically be allowed to make decisions on your behalf. In fact, it is only people that have been identified and certified as a Lasting Power Attorney.
To set up a Lasting Power Of Attorney (LPA) it is important to get advice from a professional. At Simple-Will we can talk through options, help complete forms and act as your LPA Certificate Provider.
A Power Of Attorney is a legal document that gives a nominated person the permission to make decisions for you, and act on your behalf. This is essential if you become physically or mentally unable or no longer wish to make your own decisions. Take a look at how LPAs can help.
There are three different types of Power Of Attorney and it is important to discuss your personal situation with a professional, so that we can advise you on the type of Attorney you’ll need.
An Enduring Power Of Attorney (EPA) covers decisions about your finances and property in the event that you lose metal capacity. EPA’s were replace with LPAs in October 2007. Simple Will can check that whether EPA is still valid.
The relevant forms and information pack can be downloaded from the Gov.uk website. We will help you complete these depending on your individual requirements and circumstances.
It is recommended that you obtain legal or professional advice when applying for LPA. If your situation is complex we can help you take the right steps to ensure you don’t have any problems in the future.
All LPAs need to be signed by a certificate provider. This needs to be someone you’ve known for more than 2 years that isn’t related to you. We can act as your Certificate Provider ensuring that the necessary duties are carried out.
LPAs need to be officially registered and cost of £82. We can support you through the process and help with reducing this cost if you are on a low-income or on benefits.
