An Attorney’s power ceases on bankruptcy (for Property and Financial Affairs), incapacity, or death.
As a failsafe to ensure your LPA continues to operate, you can choose to nominate Replacement Attorneys. The requirements for a Replacement Attorney are the same as the Attorney, i.e. they must be 18 or older. In the absence of a Replacement Attorney your LPA may no longer work or may not longer be valid, and an application for Deputyship will be required.
