Lasting Powers of Attorney
Protecting you and your family so that your healthcare, money and assets are looked after according to your wishes, if you are incapacitated
Giving you peace of mind that when you need support, your wishes for your care and finances will be respected.
A Lasting Power of Attorney, once in place, prepares you in the event that you may become incapacitated through injury or ill health can give peace of mind in the knowledge that you’re prepared for any eventuality. No matter your age, we can never be sure what’s around the corner.If you own a business you should consider the Lasting Power of Attorney for business to protect your business interests.
Health & Welfare
Do you worry that the decisions that may be made for you in the event that you are incapacitated might not be what you would want? You may be seriously injured. Or, with an aging population, you may suffer serious illnesses like cancer or dementia which could leave you unable to make decisions for yourself due to losing mental capacity. Putting a Lasting Power of Attorney to protect your health and welfare in place means that your wishes must be followed. Not only will your instructions be followed by people who you appoint to act in your favour, but medical professionals and local authorities have no authority to make decisions that go against your wishes.
Putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place can be long-winded and complicated, but working with you, we take on the process and paperwork so that you can decide what you would want to happen in the event that you are incapacitated.
Finance and Property
Not only can you put a Lasting Power of Attorney in place that lays out your wishes for your healthcare, but you can put one in place that deals with how you would like your money and property managed if you’re unable to make those decisions. You appoint your own ~attorney~ to manage your affairs according to your wishes, and your finances are protected from local authorities in the same way that your healthcare is protected from external decision-makers.
There is a clear, if complex process for establishing a Lasting Power of Attorney for property and finance, but here at Will Protect we can work with you to make sure that your wishes are properly documented, your attorneys appointed and the process and paperwork completed accurately and submitted to the Office of the Public Guardian in good order.
