Why Every Young Adult Should Think About LPAs (Yes, Even You!)

You might think Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is something “you only need later in life.” Think again. Life’s unpredictable, and being prepared is actually smart, not scary.

Here’s why:

Life Throws Curveballs

Accidents, sudden illness, or mental health struggles can happen at any age. An LPA means someone you trust can step in to make decisions for you—without chaos.

Protect Your Loved Ones

Without an LPA, family might have to go through court just to act on your behalf. That’s stress, time, and money wasted. Set it up now, save them later.

Keep Control of Your Life

You get to choose who makes decisions and how they make them—from medical care to finances. It’s about your rules, not theirs.

Be Prepared, Not Surprised

Think of an LPA as a smart way to handle the unexpected. It ensures your wishes are respected and avoids last-minute stress for you or your loved ones.

Peace of Mind is Priceless

Knowing your affairs are in safe hands lets you focus on life, not what-ifs.

Quick Tips to Start:

• Pick someone you trust
• Decide on health, finance, or both
• Think about any specific wishes or instructions for your attorneys to follow
• Register it with the Office of the Public Guardian
• Review and update anytime, as long as you have capacity
