In the context of the work of AIVuk members this catch-all label is most frequently used in the contexts of the financial aspects, as opposed to Health and Welfare aspects, of a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) or Deputyship.
AIVuk members are experienced at assessing a person's capacity to:
- Manage their property and affairs including Buying or Selling Property or the benefits of Equity Release
- Create an LPA, appointing one or more others to manage these on their behalf
