Why a Lasting Power of Attorney is not just for the elderly

Mental and physical incapacity can hit at any time .plan ahead now to ease the potential burden on your family.
There are some 800000 people in the UK suffering from dementia-a figure that is expected to pass the one million mark by 2015 [ source Daily Mail May 2012. ].
A person living with dementia ,alzheimers or any other condition which might affect mental capacity could find the handling of their finances potentially difficult.It’s for this reason that charities across the UK are strongly recommending that we all have Lasting Powers of Attorney  in place and it’s not just for the elderly .Any of us could become incapacitated through accident or illness at any time.
With a Property & Financial LPA you can nominate people you trust to take care of your finances for you at any time in your life.You may decide you don’t want to deal with your banking pension or paying your bills any longer or you may become incapable of taking care of things yourself.
Health and Welfare LPAS allow those you appoint to make decisions about your care and well being should the time come when you are unable to make these decisions yourself.
The good news is that Consumer Care can set up you Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney at a very competitive price and without the need for you to leave your home .
