Can one LPA cover both my wife/husband/partner and I?

One LPA cannot cover both of you.

There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney which are prepared individually; so if both types are required, two documents shall be prepared for each spouse/partner.

The Donor (that’s the person giving others their authority) can choose up to 4 Attorneys (these are receiving the authority) which may include your spouse/partner. We require these details in order to produce your Lasting Power of Attorney documents. If you complete your application online, we ask for these details on Step 3 of our questionnaire.

You may wish to consider appointing Replacement Attorneys in case your main Attorneys cannot act on your behalf. You will have the option to include Replacement Attorneys on Step 4 of our online application.

Should you prefer to speak to us directly about your application, our Telephone Service is available to start the process.
