What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that gives someone you trust the authority to make decisions on your behalf should you lose capacity in the future. Without this in place, your family may face delays, stress and legal challenges when trying to manage your affairs.

That’s why, at Honey Legal, we specialise in preparing professionally drafted LPAs tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re looking to plan for property, finances or future health care, our expert team ensures the process is clear, simple and stress-free.

Why is a Lasting Power of Attorney Important?

  • Many people assume their loved ones can step in if something happens — but without an LPA, no one has the legal right to make decisions for you.. Not your spouse. Not your children. This can cause delays and costly court applications.
  • By contrast, having an LPA ensures: 
    • Your wishes are respected 
    • Your finances and assets are protected 
    • You retain control over your future 
    • Loved ones avoid unnecessary legal battles 

    By planning ahead, you’ll give your family clarity and confidence at a difficult time. 

Types of Lasting Power of Attorney

  1. Property and Financial Affairs LPA

Allows your chosen attorney(s) to manage: 

  • Bank accounts and bills 
  • Pensions and investments 
  • Buying or selling your home 

You can choose to allow this to be used either while you have mental capacity or only if you lose it. 

 

  1. Health and Welfare LPA

Covers decisions about: 

  • Medical treatment 
  • Daily care 
  • Moving into a care setting 
  • Life-sustaining treatment 

This LPA only takes effect if you lose capacity.

Do I Need an LPA If I Already Have a Will?

Yes – a Will protects your estate after you pass away, but a Lasting Power of Attorney protects your interests while you’re still alive. Both are essential parts of a complete estate plan.
