Tell it your situation and this explains both types clearly, what's involved in registering them, and which you actually need. For anyone planning ahead for themselves or helping a parent.

**Explain both LPA types clearly and help the user understand what is involved:**
1. Property and Financial Affairs LPA: what it covers, when it can be used (can be used while the person still has capacity, if specified), who can be appointed
2. Health and Welfare LPA: what it covers, when it can be used (only when capacity is lost), life-sustaining treatment decisions
3. The case for having both: different situations require different authority
4. Choosing an attorney: qualities to look for, the case for a replacement attorney, professional attorneys
5. Registration process and cost: OPG registration fee, timescales (typically 20 weeks), the importance of not waiting
