• Assist in drafting the LPA documents carefully to reflect the client’s wishes, appointing trusted attorneys to make decisions if mental capacity is lost.
• Guide clients through the registration process with the Office of the Public Guardian, ensuring all legal requirements are met to make the LPA valid and enforceable.
• Provide ongoing advice about when and how the LPA can be used, giving peace of mind that finances and health decisions will be managed properly if the client becomes unable to act independently.
