There are two types:
Lasting Power of Attorney for Property and Financial Affairs – this provides for the handling and management of your assets (e.g. bank accounts, property, investments and pension).
Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare – this provides for the treatment you receive and the making of medical and/or welfare decisions (e.g. permitting a certain operation or treatment, arrangements for at home care and entering residential care).
The LPAs are independent of each other, and you can choose to have the same or different attorneys for each.
