What are Lasting Powers of Attorney Documents?

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document in the UK that allows you to appoint one or more people to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity. There are two types of LPA: one for property and financial affairs, and one for health and welfare.

Why would you use a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is used in the event that an individual loses mental capacity to make decisions for themselves. An LPA can be used to ensure that a trusted individual is able to manage the person's finances, property, and/or health and welfare on their behalf. This can help ensure that the person's wishes are respected and that their affairs are managed appropriately, even if they are unable to make decisions for themselves.

Anyone can make one: For better or worse, anyone can write a blog post about anything they want. Everyone has a voice and the best voices will rise to the top. The writer can show their personality: In blog posts, the writer has more leeway to add in their voice and personality than other types of writing. Blogs are a great form of mass communication: You can help people, learn new things, entertain your audience—the possibilities are endless and amazing. Blogging opens up all of these to a very wide audience. You can make money: Get the right blog going and you can make a lot of money through advertising and sponsored posts. It allows people to craft better thoughts: Instead of reading haphazard, uneducated Facebook statuses, it’s much better to see people’s thought process in a well-written blog post. You can establish a community: Blogging allows you to connect with other individuals who share the same interests. Sharing ideas and opinions within your community helps establish yourself as a thought leader. Good for SEO: Keeping content on your site fresh and relevant, you can use your blog to boost the search engine ranking (SEO) of your site and your business. It brings people back to your site: If your blog is strong enough and updated regularly, people will come back looking for more and bring traffic back to your site as well. It’s free: It costs you a grand total of zero dollars to post to the blog, so if you have something to say, there’s nothing to stop you. You can establish yourself as a thought leader: A blog is a great place for your original thoughts, and it can be a wonderful way to show off your individuality. If people like your ideas, you can become a thought leader in your industry! What else do you love about blogs? Let me know!
