What happens if you lose the ability to manage your finances? Who makes the decisions? Will they know what matters most to you?
With a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for Property and Financial Affairs, you can answer those questions with certainty. This legal document allows you to appoint someone you trust—your attorney—to manage your financial affairs if you become unable to do so yourself. It’s preparation, not pessimism.
What Is a Lasting Power of Attorney for Financials?
Put simply, it’s a safety switch. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in Birmingham ensures your money, property, and financial responsibilities are managed exactly how you want—by someone you choose—should you become mentally or physically incapable of doing so.
Whether it’s paying bills, managing investments, or handling business finances, this trusted person steps into your financial shoes, with legal authority to act in your best interests.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” —Benjamin Franklin
Why Set Up a Lasting Power of Attorney in Birmingham?
1. Plan Ahead with Confidence
You decide who manages your finances—and on what terms. It’s your plan, your way.
2. Peace of Mind for You and Your Family
Knowing that your affairs are in the hands of someone responsible and trustworthy brings lasting reassurance to you and your loved ones.
3. Avoid the Legal Maze
Without an LPA, your family may face complex, expensive court proceedings to take control of your finances—often with a court-appointed deputy, not someone of your choosing.
4. Flexible and Customisable
You decide when the LPA takes effect—immediately after registration, or only if you lose capacity. You can grant wide authority or limit powers to specific tasks like managing a bank account or excluding property transactions.
What Powers Can You Grant?
With an LPA for Financial Affairs, your chosen attorney can legally:
- Pay household bills and debts
- Manage and sell property
- Operate your bank accounts
- Oversee investments
- Run a business
- Handle taxes and legal matters
You stay in control—right down to how specific or broad their powers should be.
Who Should Set One Up?
This isn’t just for the elderly. It’s for anyone who understands that life can change in an instant.

Older adults planning for potential incapacity
