Questions and answers
What areas can a lasting power of attorney cover?

Why can it be important to establish a lasting power of attorney?
Establishing a lasting power of attorney is important because it allows you to plan for the future and appoint a person who can make decisions on your behalf if you should lose the ability to do so yourself due to illness or another circumstance preventing you from making important decisions. Otherwise, a court-appointed guardian or administrator whom you have not chosen yourself may be appointed for you.

A lasting power of attorney comes into effect when the principal becomes unable to make their own decisions, whereas a regular power of attorney becomes effective when it is signed.
