You've decided to set up a Lasting Power of Attorney. Good move.
It's one of the most responsible things you can do for your family.
Then you hit the wall everyone hits.
Whose names do you actually put in the boxes?
It sounds like admin. It isn't. You're choosing the people who could one day hold the keys to your bank accounts, your home, even your medical care.
That's the moment this stops being paperwork and gets personal. It's where most people freeze.
So we wrote a guide to make the decision easier. It covers:
- What an attorney actually does day to day.
- Who can legally take the role, and the one group you can't appoint.
- "Jointly" vs "Jointly and Severally", and how the wrong choice can freeze your whole LPA.
- Why a single attorney with no backup is a bigger risk than people think.
- Family member or professional, the honest pros and cons of each.
