The power of attorney document allows a person with dementia (called the principal) to name another individual (called an attorney-in-fact or agent), usually a spouse, domestic partner, trusted family member or friend, to make financial and other decisions when the person with dementia is no longer able.
The LPA forms need to be signed by someone, apart from your chosen attorney, to state that you have the mental capacity to make an LPA. The forms also need to be witnessed. You then need to register each LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian. Either you or your attorney can do this.
Familiar objects such as a favorite easy chair, familiar decorations or pictures can help make the person feel more comfortable in their new surroundings. Labeling different areas of the home or things within a room with signs can help the person with dementia become familiar with the layout of their new home.
In most cases, if a person living with dementia is able to understand the meaning and importance of a given legal document, he or she likely has the legal capacity (the ability to understand the consequences of his or her actions) to execute (to carry out by signing it).
There may come a time when a person with dementia is unable to make decisions about their care and finances. A lasting power of attorney appoints someone else to make decisions on their behalf, in their best interests.
