Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare - Alzheimer's Society podcast March 2016

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal tool that allows you to appoint someone to make certain decisions on your behalf. A health and welfare LPA allows the attorney to make decisions on your behalf about your health and welfare, if there comes a time when you are unable to make these decisions for yourself. In this edition of the podcast we discuss Health and Welfare LPA and the Your answers to the question 'What to do if a person with dementia leave a shop without paying for goods?'.
