If you are aged 18 or over you can make an LPA granting to a person or persons (your Attorney/s) the right to make decisions about your health, care and welfare if you lose capacity to make those decisions yourself.
If you want your Attorney/s to make a decision about whether you should receive life sustaining treatment you must state this expressly in your LPA.
You have the power to change or revoke the LPA at any time when you have capacity to do so.
