Retiring Soon? Do Not Forget Your LPA
You are planning for retirement. Pensions, travel, hobbies.
But there is one item missing from most retirement checklists: Lasting Power of Attorney.
Why Retirement is the Perfect Time
You are already planning: Looking at finances, thinking about the future You have time: Not rushing between commitments The need is approaching: Health issues become more likely
What Retirees Need to Protect
Your pension(s): Nobody can manage your pension income without LPA Your savings: All frozen if you lose capacity Your property: Cannot be managed without authority Your health: Without Health and Welfare LPA, courts decide
The Timing Window
There is a window for creating LPAs. It has an invisible end point.
Some people have capacity into their 90s. Some lose it in their 60s. You cannot predict.
The only certainty: create LPA while you definitely can.
