Course description
According to the Office of the Public Guardian most LPAs do not contain any instructions or preferences, even when drafted by professionals.
Inclusion of suitable provision reduces the risk of misuse as the attorney is made aware of how they should make decisions, and third parties are on notice of how they should act, which ensures that the attorney is held to account for poor decision making.
Presented by expert speaker Caroline Bielanska, former Chief Executive and former Chair of Solicitors for the Elderly, this live and interactive session will help you understand the drivers for misusing an LPA, the gifts the are permitted under the Act and common law, what professional involvement acts as a safeguard to abuse, and more.
