Lasting Powers of Attorney

Posted by : Sarah von Schmidt | Date posted : 14/11/2011

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 introduced the new Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) which replaced the Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) on 1 October 2007.

This briefing considers both the changes that the Act introduced and the purpose of an LPA.
