Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)

ISLAMIC WILLS

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint people you trust to make decisions if you can’t. It covers two main areas:
  • Property & Finances – from paying bills to selling a home.
  • Health & Welfare – from medical treatment to where you live.
An LPA ensures that if you lose capacity, your affairs are managed according to your wishes.

Why every Muslim family needs an LPA

Without an LPA in place:
  • Banks can freeze even joint accounts if one partner loses capacity.
  • Family members must apply to the Court of Protection – a costly, slow, stressful process.
  • Local authorities or solicitors could be appointed instead of the people you choose.
Research shows that 85% of UK adults do not have an LPA. Don’t leave your affairs in the hands of strangers.

When an LPA protects you most

  • Accident or illness – A sudden stroke or accident can leave you unable to manage finances or consent to treatment.
  •  Dementia and old age – Over 800,000 people in the UK are living with dementia, expected to hit 1 million within a decade.
  • Young and healthy? – 1 in 4 strokes in the UK happen under age 65. LPAs aren’t just for the elderly.

“Tie your camel, then trust in Allah.” — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Tirmidhi).
Isn’t my spouse or next of kin automatically allowed to act for me?
No. Without an LPA, they have no legal right to access accounts or make care decisions.
Can I have more than one attorney?

Yes. You can appoint more than one, and decide how they make decisions together.

How much does it cost?

 Just £500, or £950 for a married couple.  The Office of the Public Guardian also charges £82 per application to keep a record on file for you.

Is this valid under Islamic law?

Yes. An LPA ensures your affairs are managed according to your wishes, by people you trust, rather than by strangers or the state.
