DID YOU KNOW

• That if you lose your mental or physical capacity, say for example, a car accident, fall down the stairs or a stroke, your bank accounts will be frozen.

• Someone will have to apply to the Court of Protection to deal with your finances and this can take up to a year and cost about £1000. Your accounts remain frozen throughout this time until the Court makes the decision about your mental or physical capacity.

• Unless you have joint accounts, no-one can access your finances which means that the mortgage may not be paid and the bills may not be paid.

• You could make a LPA now, and appoint Attorneys that you trust to deal with your finances. These would probably be members of your family or close friends.

• Once the LPA is registered, the banks monitor the accounts carefully so your attorneys can only deal with your money how you would have dealt with it.

• You can give your attorneys the power to deal with your property and affairs or your welfare.

• Get an LPA written now and hopefully you won’t ever have to use it, but it is there if you suddenly need one. Once you have lost your mental capacity it is too late.

So again, for a small investment of time and money, you can write what you want in a legal document, (LPA) protecting yourself, your  loved ones and assets knowing that if or when the time comes you are legally protected.

IT CAN COST AS LITTLE AS  £99 TO WRITE YOUR

POWER OF ATTORNEY
