Lasting Powers of Attorney
Many people worry about what
happens to their assets after they
pass away - but what happens to
your assets if you become incapable
of managing your affairs during your
lifetime? Imagine the possibility
that you have a stroke or the onset
of dementia, will anyone be able to
continue to pay your bills or collect
your pension? Consider the possibility
that you go into a care home and your
property needs to be sold - who would
be able to sign the conveyancing
paperwork for you?
Lasting Powers of Attorney (“LPA”)
came into force on 1 October 2007.
The Property and Financial Affairs
LPA replaced the Enduring Power of
Attorney. If you have an EPA you may
wish to speak with us to ensure it still
meets your needs today. One of the
main differences between the EPA and
LPA is that the LPA can be registered
straightaway, whereas the EPA is
registered once the donor (the person
who made the document) has lost,
or starts to lose mental capacity. This
unfortunately would mean a delay in
the Attorney being able to act for you.
Therefore you may wish to consider
replacing your EPA with an LPA.
of Attorney with you. If you would

There is also a Power of Attorney

to give instructions in relation to life
sustaining treatment.
LPAs are extremely powerful and
it is important that legal advice is
sought. Our Jackamans’ Private Client
team will be happy to discuss Powers
