Notes:

Must be signed in BLACK PEN (witnesses must give names and addresses in BLOCK CAPITALS).

DO NOT staple etc - they need to be loose pages.

Order of signing is on cover page of each print out – this is essential.

 

Financial LPA:

Can be initiated by choice at any time (with your consent) or automatically if you no longer have the mental capacity to make decisions.

Karen and I can make decisions / sign documents individually (but will agree on things) in order to reduce complexity (apart from sale / rent of house for which both signatures are needed).

 

Health and Welfare LPA:

Only initiated when you no longer have the mental capacity to make decisions.

Karen and I can make decisions individually in case a rapid response is needed. We have no power to give or refuse consent to life-sustaining treatment (this will be a decision made by Doctors) meaning that previous decisions (eg Do Not Resuscitate) will not be superseded.
