Power of Attorney
Setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows a trusted person to make decisions on your loved one’s behalf if they become unable to do so.
This can cover:
- Health and welfare
- Finances and property
Setting this up early, while your loved one retains capacity, makes the process more straightforward.
Advance Statements and Decisions
An advance statement outlines personal preferences about care, while an advance decision is legally binding and outlines treatments someone would wish to refuse in the future. These tools help ensure your loved one’s voice remains central in all care planning.
