⚠️ WHEN DID YOU LAST CHECK YOUR LPA?

Lasting Powers of Attorney were introduced in 2007, which means some LPAs are now nearly 20 years old.

An LPA does not expire simply because it is old. However, an LPA prepared years ago may no longer work as you intended.

Since it was signed:

❌ An attorney may have died or lost capacity
❌ An attorney may no longer be willing or suitable to act
❌ Divorce or bankruptcy may have affected an appointment
❌ A joint appointment could fail if one attorney can no longer act
❌ Your family, finances, health or wishes may have changed
❌ Important instructions or safeguards may be missing
❌ You may only have made one of the two types of LPA

The worst time to discover a problem is after the donor has lost capacity, when it may be too late to make a replacement.

Your LPA may last indefinitely. Your circumstances don’t.

ST10 LAW will check your existing LPAs completely FREE OF CHARGE and tell you honestly whether they remain suitable or whether anything needs attention.

Don’t assume an old LPA is still a working LPA.

🩺 HAVE YOU HEARD OF A ReSPECT FORM?

If you have a Health & Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney, there’s another document you may want to know about.

It’s called a ReSPECT plan – Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment.

It is completed as part of a conversation with healthcare professionals and can record recommendations about the treatment and care you would want in a future emergency if you were unable to make or communicate decisions yourself.

And it’s not just about CPR.

A ReSPECT plan can help healthcare professionals understand what matters to you and what the overall priorities for your treatment should be.

⚖️ So where does your Health & Welfare LPA fit in?

A ReSPECT plan is not a replacement for an LPA.

Your Health & Welfare LPA can give the people you trust legal authority to make health and care decisions for you if you lose capacity. A ReSPECT plan can provide valuable information about your wishes and agreed clinical recommendations.

The two can therefore form important parts of planning ahead.

This is also why I don't believe a properly prepared Health & Welfare LPA should simply be a box-ticking exercise.

As part of my LPA service, I encourage clients to think about their wishes, preferences and the decisions their attorneys may one day have to make.

📅 September is LPA Month at ST10 LAW.

If you'd like to talk about putting LPAs in place – or you'd like me to take a look at LPAs you already have – please get in touch.

Existing LPAs checked FREE OF CHARGE.

Instructing me to prepare your LPAs is easier than you might think.

1️⃣ You contact me (e-mail, telephone or WhatsApp).

2️⃣ I send you a straightforward form to complete at home and return to me.

3️⃣ I use that information to draft your Lasting Powers of Attorney properly and reflect your individual wishes.

4️⃣ If there is anything I need to clarify, we sort it out with a quick telephone call or a meeting.

That’s it. No intimidating appointments. No unnecessary fuss. Just friendly, personal help from start to finish.

LPAs aren’t simply a box-ticking exercise. But instructing me to prepare them can still be simple and straightforward.

“I naively thought that, as his wife, that gave me a lot of rights.”

Dorothy had been married to her husband for 49 years and cared for him through 17 years of serious illness.

But when he became seriously unwell, she discovered that being someone’s husband or wife does not automatically give you legal authority to make decisions on their behalf.

That is precisely why a Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney matters.

It allows you to choose, in advance, the people who should be involved in decisions about matters such as:

• where you live and receive care
• medical treatment
• your day-to-day care
• life-sustaining treatment, if you give your attorneys that authority

An LPA is not just paperwork for elderly people. It is a safeguard for you, and for the people who may one day have to speak for you.

September is LPA Month at ST10 LAW.

I can also check your existing LPAs free of charge and without obligation.

WANT TO SPEND MORE ON LAWYERS?

Here’s a good way to start… 😁

❌ Don’t make a Will.
❌ Don’t make Lasting Powers of Attorney.

Because when things go wrong without them, sorting everything out afterwards can be considerably more complicated, and considerably more expensive.

Die without a Will and the intestacy rules decide who inherits your estate.

Lose mental capacity without LPAs and, depending on the circumstances, your family may need to consider a Court of Protection application to manage your affairs.

Both can mean more work for lawyers.

So perhaps I’m not very good at this business thing, because I’d much rather help you plan ahead and avoid the mess in the first place.

A properly prepared Will and LPAs can make life much easier for the people you leave behind or who may one day need to help you.

Planning ahead is usually simpler, and cheaper.
