What's a lasting power of attorney and why do one?
A lasting power of attorney can help give you peace of mind that someone you trust can take care of the things matter in your life, should there ever come a time when you can't.
It is a legal document that allows you to nominate someone to make decisions about key areas of your life, like money or health and care, if you're not able to anymore.
Lots of people choose to set up a lasting power of attorney, for lots of different reasons. Some people decide they want to do it after receiving a diagnosis of dementia or another long-term illness. Others just like to plan ahead and be prepared.
What ever your reason, our team at Age UK York can help.
