A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that gives a person(s) of your choice power to deal with your affairs if you become unable to do so for some reason such as loss of mental capacity, illness or accident. 

 

Mae Atwrneiaeth Arhosol (LPA) yn ddogfen gyfreithiol sy'n rhoi pŵer i berson(au) o’ch dewis i ddelio â'ch materion os na allwch wneud hynny am ryw reswm, megis colli galluedd meddyliol, salwch neu ddamwain.

 

There are two types of powers, Property and financial affairs:

​

We assist clients with the process of appointing an attorney which makes (or helps you make) decisions about things like:

• money, tax and bills

• bank and building society accounts

• property and investments

• pensions and benefits

​

The donor can use your money to look after your home and buy anything you need day to day (for example, food).

Health and Welfare Affairs: 

​

We can also assist client with the process of appointing an attorney to make (or help you make) decisions about things like:

• daily routine, for example washing, dressing and eating

• medical care

• where you live

​

The attorney might need to spend your money on things that maintain or improve your quality of life. This can include:

• new clothes or hairdressing

• decorating your home or room in a care home

• paying for extra support so that you can go out more, for example to visit friends or relatives or to go on holiday

​

It can only be created if the person making it still has their mental capacity.

​

Gellir ei greu’n unig dim ond os yw'r person sy'n ei wneud yn meddu ar allu meddyliol.
