Lasting Power of Attorney explained
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you (the ‘donor’) appoint one or more people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.
This gives you more control over what happens to you if you have an accident or an illness and cannot make your own decisions (you ‘lack mental capacity’).
Health & Welfare LPA
A Health and Welfare LPA gives an attorney the power to make decisions about things like:
-
your daily routine, for example washing, dressing, eating
-
medical care
-
moving into a care home
-
life-sustaining treatment
It can only be used when you’re unable to make your own decisions.
Property & Finance LPA
A Property and Finance LPA gives an attorney the power to make decisions about money and property for you, for example:
-
managing a bank or building society account
-
paying bills
-
collecting benefits or a pension
-
selling your home
It can be used as soon as it’s registered, with your permission.

Top Questions about Certificate Providers
What happens if the Donor loses capacity during the registration process?
Answer:
If the Donor loses capacity during the registration process, as long as they had capacity when the document was signed (as verified by the Certificate Provider) then once registered, the document will still be valid.
What is the difference between a Certificate Provider and a Witness?
Answer:
The Certificate Provider signs to confirm the donor understands what they’re doing and that nobody is forcing them to put the documents in place.
A witness simply confirms that the Donor is who they say they are and that it is them signing the paperwork.
Can a Care Home Manager be my Certificate Provider?
Answer:
No a Care Home Manager cannot be your CP, nor can anyone who is employed by the Donor or Attorneys, i.e. Private Carer, Gardener, Housekeeper etc.
