What is a Lasting Power of Attorney? 

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which allows you to appoint someone that you trust as your ‘attorney’ to make decisions on your behalf when you no longer wish to or when you lack the mental capacity to do so.  Your attorney can be a friend, relative or a professional.
