A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which allows you to appoint members of your family, or friends, to make decisions on your behalf, should you become unable to do so for yourself. You might think that this is only relevant as you get older, but sadly, an accident or illness can strike any of us without warning.
Dealing with someone's affairs when they die can be complicated, confusing and lengthy. This can be extremely distressing at an already emotional time. Whether you need some advice on what steps to take in dealing with the estate of a loved one, or if you are looking for someone to carry out the service on your behalf, we are here to help you.
People often think they can simply sign their property over to their children, and give their other assets away in order to avoid care costs. This is not the case, as the local authority will treat this as deliberate deprivation.
Giving away property and other assets will leave you extremely vulnerable to the changing financial fortunes of your family members - a bankruptcy, divorce, or premature death, could mean your house has to be sold, leaving you homeless.You are also giving your family a potentially sizeable Capital Gains Tax problem, and any gift also has Inheritance Tax implications.

Under current legislation, you are allowed to leave only part of your estate to your beneficiaries without Inheritance Tax becoming payable on your death. Your estate is made up of everything you own including your property, savings, investments, cars and personal belongings. The Inheritance Tax rate is currently 40% on everything above the threshold of 325,000 per person (2014/15 tax year).
