Both a will and a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) play different but equally important roles.
A will sets out what happens to your estate after you die, ensuring your wishes are followed and your loved ones are provided for.
An LPA, on the other hand, allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the ability to do so during your lifetime, whether that’s for finances or health and welfare.
Many people choose to have both in place so they are protected both during their lifetime and after death.

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself.
There are two types of LPA: one for property and financial affairs, and one for health and welfare. You can choose to have one or both, depending on your circumstances.
Putting an LPA in place ensures that the right people can step in and act in your best interests if needed, giving you and your family peace of mind.
