Power of Attorney in Devon
In an uncertain world it’s reassuring to know that our wishes will be respected even if we’re not in a position to make our own decisions. That’s why many people choose to create a Power of Attorney in Devon, also known as a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), to provide protection should an accident or ill health prevent them from making decisions in the future.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows another person to make decisions about your wellbeing and affairs on your behalf. Appointing an attorney before you actually need one gives you the peace of mind that your affairs will be managed how you want them to be.
It’s not possible to create an LPA once you’re unable to make your own decisions. If you think you would like a Power of Attorney, it is something that you should consider putting in place as soon as possible.
Types of Lasting Power of Attorney
There are different types of LPAs depending on what areas of your life you would like an attorney to have control of. To be valid, an LPA must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.
