‘LPAs are crucially important documents which, like Wills, everyone should consider putting in place. They have become increasingly popular since their introduction in 2007.
It is often thought that LPAs are ‘for the elderly’ or ‘only needed if you have lost mental capacity’. However, they can, in fact, be helpful in a wide range of circumstances, not only if one has lost mental capacity and, in any event, it is important to think about LPAs before the point of loss of capacity.’
