Wills & LPAs: The Key to Securing Your Future

We would also advise having your Health & Financial matters in order by having the following: -

1.       Make a Will

2.       Lasting Power of Attorney for Property and Finance

3.       Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document allowing you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you cannot do so yourself. These decisions can include those about your health, welfare, and financial matters. Benefits of a Lasting Power Attorney include:

1.       Gain Peace of Mind: With an LPA, someone you trust will confidently manage your affairs according to your wishes, bringing you reassurance.

2.       Protection: An LPA ensures that your wishes are respected, and that your well-being and finances are managed by someone who understands your needs and values.

3.       Avoiding Delays: With an LPA in place, your family can access your finances and make health decisions when you are unable to, and they can do this without delays or complications, providing peace of mind during challenging moments.

4.       Empowerment: Taking control of your future is empowering! With an LPA, you choose trusted individuals to represent your interests if you can't. It's a positive step toward securing your future.

The connection between Wills & Lasting Power of Attorney?

In estate planning, both LPAs and Wills play crucial roles in ensuring that your wishes are honoured. While a Will expresses your desire for the distribution of your assets after your passing, an LPA safeguards your interests when you cannot make decisions for yourself. By including both LPAs and Wills in your estate planning, you not only secure your legacy but also foster peace of mind, knowing that your wishes will be upheld in every situation. This comprehensive approach provides clarity and protection for you and your family both during your lifetime and after you're gone, offering reassurance and confidence for the future.
