A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint one or more people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.
This gives you more control over what happens to you if you have an accident or an illness and cannot make your own decisions (you ‘lack mental capacity’).

Definitely - and you can do the LPAs online (except for the witnesses and signatures).
There are two sorts
Quote:
Health and welfare lasting power of attorney - use this LPA to give an attorney the power to make decisions about things like:
your daily routine, for example washing, dressing, eating
medical care
moving into a care home
life-sustaining treatment
It can only be used when you’re unable to make your own decisions.
Property and financial affairs lasting power of attorney - use this LPA to give an attorney the power to make decisions about money and property for you, for example:
managing a bank or building society account
paying bills
collecting benefits or a pension
selling your home
