Lasting Power of Attorney – Home Visits in Leicestershire
Home Visits Available Across Leicestershire
Life can change quickly and without warning. A passing thought at the kitchen table about who might help with future decisions can suddenly become urgent. These conversations may feel a little uncomfortable, but they are some of the most important ones you will ever have.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are ever unable to do so.
There are two types of LPA:
- One covers health and welfare decisions
- The other covers property and financial matters, such as managing bills, pensions or your home
Many people assume their spouse or children would automatically be allowed to step in if needed. Without an LPA in place, even close family members may face legal delays and added stress during already difficult times.
Putting an LPA in place allows you to plan, reduce uncertainty and give peace of mind to those who care about you.
An LPA is more than just a legal form. It gives you the chance to set out what matters most to you. Whether it is your daily routine, your preferred care arrangements or how your finances are managed, it ensures your wishes are known and respected.
In today’s climate, with a growing older population and increased pressure on health and care services, planning has never been more critical. The Office of the Public Guardian encourages everyone, especially those with long-term health conditions, to consider setting up an LPA sooner rather than later.
