Lasting Power of Attorney

Living an active and independent lifestyle is important for most of us but sometimes we do need to rely on a bit of support to achieve it.

Shirley Batten-Smith, an expert in this field, says, “but what happens if it’s our mental capacity that is failing? Who would you rely on for support if you needed help with running your bank account and paying the bills?”

A Lasting Power of Attorney (Property & Affairs or Personal Welfare) is a legal document that you can create to appoint your own Attorney – without it, your family or friends will not have the legal authority to act on your behalf. By creating a Lasting Power of Attorney now, you will ensure that the person/s you know and trust will be able to act for you in the future should you need that support.
