What is an Advance Directive? An Advance Directive is a legal document that outlines a person's preferences for medical treatment in case they become unable to communicate their decisions. It ensures that healthcare providers and loved ones know the person's wishes regarding life-sustaining treatments, end-of-life care, and other healthcare preferences. There are two main types of Advance Directives: 1. Living Will: This document specifies which medical treatments a person does or does not want if they are terminally ill or permanently unconscious. It can cover decisions about resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, tube feeding, dialysis, and other life-sustaining measures. 2. Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare (Healthcare Proxy): This document designates a trusted person (an agent or proxy) to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the individual if they are unable to do so. The chosen agent can make a wide range of healthcare decisions, guided by the person's known preferences and best interests. At Wills Tax & Trusts we prefer to use both types of Advance Directive. We feel that is best to provide peace of mind for individuals and their families by ensuring that medical care aligns with their values and desires, even when they cannot actively participate in the decision-making process. Why not book a free 30-minute call with us and we can assess if this is the right approach for you!

FAQs

What should I take into account when I make gifts of money?

Money gifts are paid first and so if your estate had dwindled by the time you died, your main beneficiaries (residuary beneficiaries) may not receive the amount you had intended and may even receive nothing at all.

How many types of LPA are there and what are the differences?

There are 2 main types: a. Health and Welfare. This type of LPA allows you to choose the person or persons to make decisions about your healthcare and personal welfare. You can choose to include making decisions to refuse or to consent to treatment on your behalf, and deciding where you live. b. Property and Finance. This type of LPA allows you to choose the person or persons you trust to make decisions about how you spend your money, and how your property and day to day financial affairs are managed. You can prepare either or both LPAs

What happens to my LPA when it has been signed?

The LPA has no legal standing until it is registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). Once the document has been signed, it should be returned to The Will Associates Ltd who will arrange this for you. Registration is an additional service we can provide. Registration can take as long as 15 weeks and the document is then returned to us for storing on your behalf. Once registered, the LPA will continue to be a legal document until the donor dies.

Do I have to appoint the same people (Attorney) for both types of Lasting Power of Attorney?

No, you can choose different people for different roles. For example, and being stereotypical here (apologies!), your oldest son may be best with managing money but is not particularly caring (we are sure he cares deep down!) whereas your daughter may not manage money and investments well but can't do enough for you. In this instance you may prefer to choose your son to make decisions in relation to your property and finances and your daughter to make decisions regarding your health and welfare.

Do I have to register my Lasting Power Of Attorney?

You don't have to register your Lasting Power of Attorney however it can't be used until it is registered. It can be registered years down the line, even after losing capacity however the registration process can take anything between 2 - 5 months and so we would encourage you to register your Lasting Power of Attorney documents once signed to ensure they are in place should they suddenly be required.

Other questions that you might have are answered on the FAQ page of our website.
