Can I make an LPA that can only be used for certain things?
You can give attorneys whatever authority you please. For example, the donor may need the person to manage your investments for them, but do not want anyone else to be responsible for paying their bills for them or making any decisions about their bank account. If you want to apply for an LPA which only gives authority for some things, you need to make sure the legal document is drafted to deal with this. You might need to get professional help from solicitors so it is clear how much authority you want your attorneys to have.
Selling property under Power of Attorney
You must have a power of attorney to sell the home of someone who may be ill and losing mental capacity. This is an important reason for making a power of attorney arranged, as it allows a nominated person the powers to deal with the sale of the home on your behalf.
How to I end a LPA?
Once an power is made, this does not mean it cannot be changed. Whoever made the LPA, the donor, can apply to cancel it as long as they have got the necessary mental capacity still. They can also nominate a replacement attorney to act for them. The attorney can also give up acting for the donor, and they must tell their decision to the donor, the other attorneys and the OPG.
Should I use a solicitor when I register an LPA?
You can work with solicitors or other professional services to get guidance when you make an LPA. An LPA is an important legal document, and solicitors will have considerable experience and used all the forms before, so getting help will improve the chances that your LPA is registered without errors. If there are errors that mean your LPA does not reflect your wishes, you may end up in court which is stressful and expensive.
