There are many reasons why there may come a time that you might be unable to make decisions for yourself, maybe through illness or injury. However, if this were to happen, it’s important you make your wishes clear in a legal document known as a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA).
 
Giving someone Lasting Power of Attorney over your affairs before you become unable to do so saves your loved ones from a potentially lengthy and expensive process with the Court of Protection, allowing them to take care of things if something happens to you.
 

There’s no specific age you should consider taking out an LPA. However, they can only be made while you still have full mental capacity, and you never know when you may need one.
