I have been doing legal admin for 15+years.

Anyway in the last year I have had quite a few clients that were not prepared for major life changes.

Some of the difficulties they faced were because they had no knowledge or experience in dealing with household accounts, life admin etc.

So I have written this little checklist to help you consider what is necessary in future planning.

Things to consider

* does each person have life insurance?

* does each person have a Will?

* has each person considered Making a Lasting Power of Attorney? Martin Lewis, (moneysavingexpert.com & ITV show) recommends every adult over age of 25+ appoint an attorney as you never know when it may be needed

* does each person know how the household accounts operate?

* does the household have a list of accounts, password details etc in a mutually agreed place in times of need?

* are the household bills in a joint account so both people have legal access in case of accident or emergency? (If they are in a single named account this causes a lot of unnecessary stress & hardship)

* does each person have the knowledge & experience to complete the necessary life admin & operate the household bills? (Practice/discussion sessions with dummy guide notes can help)

These issues are best dealt with during times of calm as they are easier to cope with.

Repetition and practice makes all the difference because during times of emotional stress our brain relies on default programming.

I know future planning can be an uncomfortable subject for many. However, many of my clients have said they wish they had dealt with it much sooner.

A small amount of discomfort now is so much better than a whole load of suffering if things happen in future.

Hope this helps.

Who should I choose as my Attorney?
👥 Choosing your Attorney is one of the most important decisions you'll make.

Your Attorney is the person who will make decisions for you if you can't. So who should it be?

Here are a few things to think about:
✔️ Someone you trust completely
✔️ Someone who understands your **wishes and values
✔️ Someone who is reliable and organised
✔️ Could be a family member, close friend, or even a professional

You can appoint more than one Attorney — and we'd always recommend having at least two, just in case.

Do I have to be old to make an LPA?**
🙋 *"Isn't that just something older people do?"*

We hear this a lot — and it's one of the biggest myths about LPAs!

The truth is, anyone over 18 can lose mental capacity unexpectedly — through an accident, illness, or a stroke. It can happen at any age.

Making an LPA while you're fit and well is actually the *smartest* time to do it. Once capacity is lost, it's too late.

Don't wait for a crisis. Plan ahead.

What is an LPA?

🖊️ Ever wondered what an LPA actually is?

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you choose someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf — if you ever can't do so yourself.

There are two types:
✅ Property & Financial Affairs — covers your bank accounts, bills, and property

✅ Health & Welfare — covers your medical care and daily routine

Think of it as a safety net. You hope you never need it, but you'll be so glad it's there.
