Lasting Power of Attorney
An LPA isn’t just for later life, it’s a vital part of planning ahead at any age. A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to legally appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you're ever unable to do so yourself, whether due to illness, accident, or loss of mental capacity.
Without an LPA in place, your loved ones could face delays, expense, and legal complications trying to manage your finances or make important health decisions for you.
At Luckings & Co., we make setting up an LPA simple, straightforward, and tailored to your needs - so you stay in control, no matter what the future holds.
Property and Finance LPA
This allows someone you trust to manage your finances if you’re unable to - whether temporarily or long-term. This can include:
-
Paying bills and managing bank accounts
-
Handling pensions or benefits
-
Managing property or selling your home if needed
You can choose for this to come into effect immediately (while you still have capacity) or only if you lose capacity.



Health and Welfare LPA
This covers decisions about your healthcare and personal wellbeing. It only comes into effect if you can no longer make decisions yourself. This can include:
-
Medical treatment decisions
-
Where you live or receive care
-
Day-to-day matters like meals or routines
It ensures your wishes are known and respected, even if you’re not in a position to express them.
