Planning for the Unexpected: The Importance of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPAs) and Wills in Business
At Ward Williams, we emphasise the critical need for UK business owners to establish Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) and wills to protect their enterprises from unforeseen events.
Understanding the Importance of LPAs and Wills
Business owners often focus on immediate financial concerns while overlooking crucial long-term planning. LPAs and wills are not merely personal matters; they are vital for ensuring business continuity. Without a proper business LPA, companies may encounter significant operational hurdles if the owner becomes incapacitated. Critical decisions and financial transactions may be halted, potentially causing severe damage to the business.
