Reaching 50 is a milestone for many people. It is often the point at which an individual starts to notice the aging process and often around this time that parents and other relatives reach an age where they need help or at least want to be sure that the procedures for getting help have been put in place.
Family and friends can provide a great deal of care and support but it is best to have all the legal paperwork in place so that if a more proactive role is required, the necessary arrangements can be made.
First of all, an up to date Will saves all sorts of difficulties after death.
Next up is a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). This sounds complicated but the idea behind it is simple. It is a legal document that allows you to name one or more people to do things for you if you are unwilling or unable to do them yourself....
