When making a Lasting Power of Attorney you can only use it when it is registered. You need to consider when to register it as it can take up to 10 weeks to be registered. Also, you decide what restrictions to place in the LPA, e.g. you may decide only to allow your bank accounts to be operated under the LPA.

You also have the opportunity to give guidance to your family as to how you want your affairs to be run.

We can go through all these options with you and make sure that your LPA is limited to what you want.

Also, we can ensure that you complete the form correctly so that there is little chance that someone will be able to contest it later.

• Who you want to be your attorney (the person who will make decisions on your behalf)

• When do you want to register it?
• What limits do you want them to have? Do you want them to be able to make all decisions or limit them such as they are unable to sell your home?
• Do you want to put any guidance for them?
