What is a lasting power of attorney and what does it do?

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document, which allows you to appoint someone that you trust as an ?attorney' to make decisions on your behalf. These decisions can be about your welfare, your money or your property. Attorneys can make decisions for you when you no longer wish to or when you lack the mental capacity to do so. A Lasting Power of Attorney cannot be used until it is registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.
