A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows an individual (the donor) to appoint someone else (the attorney) to make decisions on their behalf regarding health, welfare, or financial matters, in case they become unable to do so themselves. An LPA remains in effect until the donor revokes it, the attorney resigns, or the donor passes away. It is designed to ensure that the donor's preferences are respected even when they can no longer communicate or make decisions. However, if the donor is deemed mentally capable again, they can also choose to revoke the LPA.
