Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors Oldham

Planning for the future is essential, and creating a Power of Attorney ensures that your affairs are handled by someone you trust if you become unable to manage them yourself. At North Ainley, our expert private client team is here to guide you through this process with care and professionalism.

What Is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust (your "attorney") to make decisions on your behalf.
There are two types of LPA, as well as a General Power of Attorney for more temporary arrangements.

- Property and Financial Affairs LPA
Allows your attorney to manage your bank accounts, pay bills, handle investments and sell property on your behalf
Can be used while you still have mental capacity, with your permission, or only once capacity is lost

- Health and Welfare LPA
Covers decisions about your medical treatment, care arrangements and day-to-day welfare
Can only be used once you are no longer able to make those decisions yourself

- General Power of Attorney
A temporary arrangement that gives someone authority to manage your financial affairs for a specific period or purpose
Commonly used when you are travelling abroad, recovering from surgery or otherwise temporarily unavailable
