Your advice - Appointing an attorney

[TamsinT]

Do you have any tips for other people with dementia about deciding who to appoint as an attorney through an LPA or similar legal document?

Perhaps they’re wondering whether the people they have in mind will be able to agree with other, or they might be unsure about how to ask a friend or relative about being appointed as their attorney.

Maybe they can’t think of anyone suitable at all.

We’d love to share your advice with readers of our magazine, Dementia together – please email magazine@alzheimers.org.uk or add your tips below before 27 June.

I chose friends i trust with my life. I know they will make good decisions for me. They know the care homes where i am happy to go when time comes and will sort it out.

I really didn’t realise how the law works until I got diagnosed was very confusing but got everything sorted out with my year post diagnosis support
