Don’t force your family to apply to court
The unexpected can happen in life. If something bad happens to you and you don’t have Lasting Power of Attorney, your family would have to apply to the UK’s Court of Protection.
The reason for this is that if you lose capacity, your loved ones aren’t legally allowed to make financial and health-related decisions on your behalf. This applies to spouses too.
If you don’t have Lasting Power of Attorney, the only alternative is to apply for ‘deputyship’. This involves an application to court, which is expensive and leads to delays lasting months or more.
You can lose capacity because of having dementia. But you can also lose capacity if you’re put in a coma because of an accident or disease.
