Powers of Attorneys (LPAs) are documents written that enable you to give someone authority to manage your healthcare and finances when you can’t do so yourself. There are two kinds of LPA – Health & Welfare, and Property & Financial Affairs, which need to be properly written and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) before they are useable. The OPG are, quite rightly, very particular about granting powers of attorney and as such the writing and registering of LPAs must be done properly with a keen attention to detail and the OPG requirements.
