Retiring Soon? Do Not Forget Your LPA Before You Stop Working
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.
