Lasting Power of Attorney
A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a document which is drafted whilst you have relevant capacity, to appoint somebody you trust to act as your attorney and make decisions relating to your affairs if you are unable to do so yourself. There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney, one related to Property and Finances and one for Health and Welfare.
Registration of Enduring Power of Attorney
An enduring power of attorney (EPA) is a document that appoints someone to manage your property, money and financial affairs. The EPA was replaced with the property and financial affairs lasting power of attorney (LPA) in 2007. If you made an EPA that was signed and witnessed before October 2007 you can either continue to use it or cancel it and set up a property and financial affairs LPA.
