Being married and having children, perhaps already grandchildren, you might have assumed that your family members would automatically be able to deal with your bank accounts, pensions and other financial matters and make decisions about your health and care, if you lose your ability to do that one day. This is not the case.
If you lose your capacity to make your own decisions and you don’t have a valid Lasting (Enduring) Power of Attorney, your family members will have to apply to court for guardianship and to go through a long, bureaucratic and expensive process every year.
The Lasting Power of Attorney, is a legal document which allows a person who is at least 18 years of age, to voluntarily appoint one or more trusted persons to make decisions and act on his behalf while he is mentally capable, should he lose his mental capacity one day.
