If you’re acting as an attorney under a Lasting Power of Attorney, you may not have complete freedom to give away the donor’s money or property. Gifts are usually limited to customary occasions and must always reflect the donor’s best interests, with larger or unusual gifts often needing approval from the Court of Protection. Our plain-English guide explains the rules clearly, helping families avoid costly mistakes and protect the person they care for.
