Protect Your Personal Affairs with Lasting Power of Attorney

Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors Newcastle and Sunderland

Losing mental capacity can be a very scary thing. It does not just happen to people in their 70's; many younger people lose capacity much sooner due to strokes and early-onset dementia.

If this happens, it can leave you and your loved ones in a challenging situation. Someone still needs to look after your affairs. This may be the running of your business, banking, standing orders and financial support in order to put together a care package on your behalf.

• A Lasting Power of Attorney can provide you with peace of mind knowing that someone you have appointed, that is, someone you trust, can manage your affairs if you are unable to do so.
• A Lasting Power of Attorney can also be used if you are simply unable to manage your affairs because you cannot travel to your bank through illness.

At Emmersons Solicitors, our Lawyers have noticed an increase in clients requiring a Lasting Power of Attorney because they are physically exhausted from either general infirmity or illness such as cancer or severe arthritis. Therefore, appointing an attorney to deal with the complications of modern banking or deal with claims for benefits can be a huge sense of relief.

A Lasting Power of Attorney benefits you because:

• You choose in advance the person who will make decisions on your behalf or in consultation with you
• It helps you to protect your financial situation
• Because it helps you to continue to control your personal affairs

Don't leave things to chance; make sure you appoint someone you trust to look after your affairs.

Please feel free to talk to one of our specialist Lasting Power of Attorney Lawyers because losing mental capacity can be very scary.
