Do you have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place?

Many people realise that having a Lasting Power of Attorney in place can make the future much easier for your family and yourself.

Tony, a semi-retired local professional runs LPA's For Locals, where he offers a:

Free weekly drop-in Every Monday between 10.15am to 12noon at The Bridge.

Here local residents can get a free information and advice service on Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs), which cover looking after property, financial, and health affairs when we might not be able to.

Simply drop in during the opening times, grab a free coffee, and get all of your questions answered. Find out what’s involved, how you can go about it and pick up some free printed information to take away. 

Since starting his service in September 2024, Tony is delighted to have helped numerous people in the village.

Tony said; "It is my mission for all local residents to have convenient access to free information and guidance but fully understand not just about LPAs, but also what happens involving the Court of Protection if we have no LPA in place at the precise time it is needed. This is something to be avoided! The key underlying message is to have them in place in good time and whilst we are still well enough to fully understand the decisions we are making. Losing the ability to make our own decisions can happen to anyone at any time at any age through serious illness, accident, a routine operation that went wrong or things such as dementia etc.

Having them in place provides reassurance, not only for ourselves to know it’s taken care of and there when needed, but can make life so much easier, cost effective and straightforward for our partners, closest loved ones and friends."

 There are two types of LPA. One for Financial decisions (includes property) and one for Health and Care decisions.  Both are equally important as we focus on living life for today, but with an eye on making tomorrow easier for everyone in our family or friendship circle should difficulties arise.

 

Tony looks forward to seeing you at one of his sessions, and if you would like any free information or guidance in the meantime, please contact Tony below.
