When can my attorney use the power of attorney?
This depends entirely on the type of LPA it is. A health and welfare LPA can only be used when you're not able to make decisions for yourself. However, you can choose when the lasting power of attorney for property and financial affairs begins. Some prefer their LPA to start immediately, so their attorney can begin tasks for them and sign paperwork when they're occupied.
