Understanding different types of Powers of Attorney

There are various different types of Powers of Attorney that you may want to set up or already have in place, depending on the circumstances. We can advise you on which are appropriate for your needs and help get the necessary Power of Attorney in place.

Health & Welfare Lasting Powers of Attorney

This empowers a trusted person to make decisions about your medical care, as well as issues such as moving you to a care home and whether life-extending treatment should be given if required. It also covers day-to-day issues, such as your diet and personal care.

Property & Financial Affairs Lasting Powers of Attorney

This allows your Attorney to deal with managing your income, such as your pension, as well as paying bills and other costs. A Property and Financial Affairs LPA can also give someone the power to sell your home if this becomes necessary e.g. to fund care costs.

Business Lasting Powers of Attorney

This gives your Attorney the authority to make decisions about managing your business interests. A Business LPA can be essential to allow a business to continue to operate, as well as ensuring the donor’s interests are protected.

Ordinary Powers of Attorney

These can be created for a specific purpose and a defined period. They are often used in matters such as conveyancing transactions where you need to sell, remortgage or transfer ownership of a property.

Enduring Powers of Attorney

Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPAs) preceded Lasting Powers of Attorney and served broadly the same function. As EPAs were replaced by LPAs from October 2007, you can no longer create an EPA, but an EPA created before this date can still be used.

An EPA will need to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian if the donor has begun to lose capacity, which is something we will be happy to assist with.
