   Can a lawyer make decisions based on my LPA?

   • Your attorneys can only make decisions that you’ve allowed them to make in your LPA. For example, if your LPA is for your property and financial affairs, your attorneys can’t make decisions about your care or daily routine. If your LPA is for your health and welfare, they can’t make decisions about your money.
