What happens if you lose capacity without an LPA?
​​With one person developing dementia every 3 minutes and over 100,000 strokes in the UK per year, the need to have planning in place for loss of capacity has never been more required.
​
If you're unfortunate enough to lose capacity without an LPA set up, you could be subject to...
Social Services "Calling The Shots" - If a Doctor confirms you no longer have capacity to make decisions, the local authority can take control of your finance, property, and healthcare decisions.

Bank Accounts Being Frozen - If you have a joint account and lose mental capacity, the bank will usually freeze it until a deputy is appointed or Power Of Attorney is registered.

Medical Decisions Being Made Without Your Family's Input - How you are cared for will be decided by a complete stranger. This can lead to you being quickly put into residential care and your estate subject to hefty care home fees.

Loved Ones Needing To Fight It Out In Court - Without an LPA in place, your family will need to go through a lengthy and costly court procedure to try and take back control. The exact opposite of what you want at an already stressful time.

So, what exactly is an LPA?
An LPA is comprised of two legal documents: one covers your health and welfare, one covers your finance and property.
By registering an LPA with the Office Of Public Guardian, you are giving consent for someone to make legal decisions for you should you become incapable. This means that the decision making now defaults to that trusted person, or persons, rather than a court appointed deputy.
​
Some of the key decisions an LPA covers are...
