Why having a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) and an Advance Care Plan (ACP) is crucial with regard to preparing for the unforeseen and the inevitable. This webinar is not just for those who are caring for a loved one. It is intended for members of all ages, Due to health and safety failures which can occur when working in the Film/TV industry or in the event of an accident, ill-health or deteriorating cognition, this webinar is for those who want to ensure that their wishes and those of their loved ones are met, What happens if you are incapacitated and don't have a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) Loss of Control: You will no longer be able to decide who makes decisions for you, which can lead to decisions being made by people you don't know or by family or friends who may not have the necessary authority. Court Application: Your next of kin may have to apply to the Court of Protection for a Deputyship Order in order to manage your affairs and make decisions on your behalf. This process can be lengthy and costly. Financial and Personal Welfare: Without an LPA, your family or friends may not be able to sell your property, manage investments, access your pension or insurance arrangements, or pay bills, maintenance or repairs for your property or assets. Care and Treatment: You may not be able to access the money needed for suitable care, which can lead to delays in securing care or medical support. It is crucial to create an LPA to ensure that your wishes are carried out by someone you trust, in order yo avoid potential complications.
