An interesting article from the office of the public guardian.

When might you need a lasting power of attorney?

⏺ Dementia:

''LPAs can make things easier and give peace of mind for those living with dementia. If they become unable to manage their affairs or pay bills, or make decisions about their care and treatment like whether to have surgery, someone they have chosen and trust can do this for them.”

⏺ Long term Mental health problems:

“Managing bills for your household can be difficult at the best of times, never mind when your mental health is poor. Having an LPA means that they can make sure that your bills are settled. Or, if you run into financial difficulty that the person you have appointed can negotiate with suppliers or creditors so that you are not bothered by them on top of being unwell.”

⏺ Brain Injury:

“Long-term arrangements such as a lasting power of attorney are often imperative so brain injury survivors have someone who can make decisions in their best interests. It can be a great comfort to know that someone is there looking after their welfare.”
