Are there different types of LPA?
Yes, there are two different types:
A Property and Financial Affairs LPA allows your Attorney to make decisions about your personal affairs including: collecting your income and benefits, paying your bills and selling your home if necessary.- A Health and Welfare LPA allows your Attorney to give or refuse consent to medical treatment and to decide where you live. These decisions can only be taken on your behalf when you are unable to make them for yourself, for example, if you are ill, unconscious or suffering from a condition like dementia.
