Health & Welfare LPA
Protect your future care and make sure the people you trust can act for you. A Health & Welfare LPA lets your chosen attorneys make important decisions about your medical treatment, care, living arrangements and wellbeing if you are unable to make those decisions yourself.
What is a Health & Welfare LPA?
A Health & Welfare LPA is a legal document that lets you choose trusted people (attorneys) to make decisions about your health and personal welfare if you lose the mental capacity to do so yourself. It ensures your wishes and best interests are at the heart of important choices.

UK Example
After a sudden stroke, a woman’s family found they could discuss care but could not make formal welfare decisions in the same clear way they expected, because no Health & Welfare LPA had been put in place.
Important discussions about care settings and treatment became more stressful for everyone involved. Planning ahead could have eased that pressure. Leave your wishes to someone that knows you, not a care assitant that has to tick boxes.
