Summary
Your LPA can be more important to you than your Will, and helps you more than your husband or wife can. Learn why your LPA can be your superhero!
Imagine a future where your voice is heard, even when you can’t speak for yourself. Where the wishes you had imagined for when you were older or more infirm are carried out, even if you couldn’t manage to do it yourself.
That’s the power of planning ahead – and it goes far beyond just writing your Will.
Introducing the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): your personal guardian angel in human form. It’s like choosing your own superhero, someone you trust completely, to swoop in and make crucial decisions when you’re not able to. But here’s the twist – you get to design their superpowers.
There are two flavours of LPA:
The Money Maestro
The Money Maestro (or property and financial affairs LPA) handles your property and finances with the precision of a master conductor.
The Health Hero
The Health Hero (or health and welfare LPA) fights for your health and welfare decisions like a dedicated champion.
You can unleash both these powers simultaneously or one at a time – it’s up to you.

Now, as LPAs leap into the digital age, securing your future has never been more critical (or convenient). It’s not just about safeguarding your wishes; it’s about fortifying your peace of mind against life’s unpredictable plot twists.
