What would happen if you couldn’t run your business? Is there someone else with access to the business bank account and finances? Who can you trust to take the reins? The only way to avoid severe disruption and pass control to someone you trust is by making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA).
The power to decide – The importance of making a Lasting Power of Attorney
There may come a time in the future when you are unable to make important decisions for yourself. This could happen if you were to suffer a loss of mental capacity, had an accident or were abroad for an extended period. The only way to have a say in who would make financial or welfare decisions on your behalf is by making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). We look at what could happen if you do not have an LPA in place.
Lasting Power of Attorney – Who would run your business if you couldn’t?
As the owner of a business, responsibility for financial and business decisions ultimately lies with you. Who would make those decisions if you were unable to? Making a Lasting Power of Attorney is the only way to ensure that the responsibility for running your business passes to a person of your choosing.
