Lpa117 Form PDF Details

Understanding the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) can be overwhelming, especially when it's about safeguarding your future interests regarding property and financial affairs. The LPA117 form plays a crucial role in this process, offering individuals the possibility to appoint one or more trusted attorneys to manage their property and finances when they themselves are unable to do so. This form, detailed and comprehensive, spread across 11 pages, requires careful consideration and completion to ensure it accurately reflects the donor's wishes. It's not just about filling in names; it involves making decisions on how those appointed can act – jointly, severally, or both, for different types of decisions. The form emphasizes the importance of understanding the responsibilities being bestowed upon the chosen attorneys, underlining the necessity of adhering to the Mental Capacity Act principles. Additionally, it includes provisions for appointment of replacement attorneys, ensuring a seamless management of one's affairs should an original attorney be unable to continue in their role. The registration process, as outlined in the document, is the final step towards activating the powers provided by the form, highlighting its legal significance. Being prepared and fully informed before embarking on this legal journey is paramount for every individual considering the LPA for property and financial affairs.

Lasting power of attorney for property and inancial affairs

 

 

Information you must read !

This lasting power of attorney is a legal document.

Each person who signs parts A, B and C must read this information before signing.

Purpose of this lasting power of attorney

This lasting power of attorney gives your attorneys authority to

make decisions about your property and inancial affairs when you

cannot make your own decisions. This can include running your bank accounts and savings accounts, decisions about making or selling investments and selling property, and spending your money.

When your attorneys can act for you

Your attorneys can use this lasting power of attorney only after it has been registered and stamped on every page by the Ofice of

the Public Guardian. Your attorneys can make decisions for you as soon as this lasting power of attorney is registered – both when you have mental capacity and when you lack mental capacity, unless you put a restriction in this lasting power of attorney.

The Mental Capacity Act

Your attorneys cannot do whatever they like. They must follow the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

Guidance about these principles is in the Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice. Your attorneys must have regard to the Code of

Practice. They can get a copy from The Stationery Ofice at

tso.co.uk or read it online at gov.uk/power-of-attorney

Principles of the Act that your attorneys must follow

1Your attorneys must assume that you can make your own decisions unless they establish that you cannot do so.

2Your attorneys must help you to make as many of your own decisions as you can. They cannot treat you as unable to make the decision in question unless all practicable steps to help you to do so have been made without success.

3Your attorneys must not treat you as unable to make the decision in question simply because you make an unwise decision.

4Your attorneys must make decisions and act in your best interests when you are unable to make the decision in question.

5Before your attorneys make the decision in question or act for you, they must consider whether they can make the decision or act in a way that is less restrictive of your rights and freedom but still achieves the purpose.

Your best interests

Your attorneys must act in your best interests in making decisions for you when you are unable to make the decision yourself. They must take into account all the relevant circumstances.

This includes, if appropriate, consulting you and others who are interested in your welfare. Any guidance you add may assist your attorneys in identifying your views.

Cancelling this lasting power of attorney

You can cancel this lasting power of attorney at any time before or after it is registered as long as you have mental capacity to cancel it. Please read the guidance available at

gov.uk/power-of-attorney
