LPOA - Question

milton1970

Not sure if this is the right board but looking for some guidance please

We are looking at putting a LPOA in place for my parents financial affairs - struggling to understand if

- The each require a LPOA & therefore we need to register 2 LPOAs ?

or 

- We can register a joint LPOA for them (they are married) ? 

Thanks in advance - all help gratefully received

They EACH need one.  There is no option of a joint one.

The procedure is set out at Make, register or end a lasting power of attorney - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

who are "we" 

You can't do anything other than help but that risks undue influence claims

Its each parents that should be doing their own LPA as doner.

You will need to do two each if they want to cover finance  and welfare.
