Legal planning and finding support
Legal planning:
- It’s important to plan ahead for who will make decisions for you if you’re unable to do so.
- Consider setting up a lasting power of attorney for property, finances, and health. This lets someone you trust support you if you’re in hospital or unable to manage your affairs.
- You can set up a lasting power of attorney yourself, without a solicitor.
- Make, register or end a lasting power of attorney: Overview - GOV.UK.
- Agencies and resources are available to help if you need support.
