Lasting Powers of Attorney are some of the most important documents you will ever have produced. Goodwills Legal Services is run by Solicitors and we offer a competitively priced Lasting Power of Attorney service in the Bedfordshire area. 

What are Lasting Powers of Attorney (‘LPAs’)?

LPAs are important documents that allow you to choose who you would like to act on your behalf (your ‘Attorneys’) should you lose mental capacity, such as due to a stroke or dementia. There are two types, as follows.

Lasting Powers of Attorney for Property and Financial Affairs

These LPAs allow you to choose Attorneys to deal with your financial affairs, property and of course the family home. For more information on Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Powers of Attorney, see here.

Lasting Powers of Attorney for Health and Welfare

LPAs for Health and Welfare allow you to choose Attorneys to deal with life sustaining treatment decisions, if for instance you were in a coma. Your Health and Welfare Attorneys are also able to make decisions regarding your care, medication choices and even who is able to visit you.
