Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for people with dementia was a big talking point on @thismorningitv.bsky.social. We agree with @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com, a LPA is so important and should be done as soon as possible. View our full LPA guide: www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-support/...

It reads: \n\nA reminder Power of Attorney is arguably more important than a will, and more urgent.  \n\nJust had a call on @thismorning from an older lady asking about moving bills into her name from her husbands, who she's caring for as he has early stage dementia.\n\nYet she hadn't yet done Power of Attorney.  This is by far the more urgent consideration.  Get it done while someone has the capacity to sign it. Then if and when they lose their faculties, the transition so you can look after their finances (and health and welfare) for them is relatively easy.\n\nIf not, leave it too late, and the money may be locked away unless you got to the Court of Protection which is often and expensive and time consuming nightmare. \n\nBetter still get a PoA when young. I did mine before I was 40.  It is in place, so that if I lose my faculties in the future at that point (not before) someone can take over.",
