Do you know about Lasting Power of Attorney?

The only people who can make choices on your behalf are those who have been authorised to. You can do this in your LPA.

This question was asked in The Telegraph...
"My divorced father, who is in his late 60s, is spending huge amounts on holidays, luxuries and generally living the high life.
I worry there will be little left for me in my inheritance. I am 35, and I feel that my father's generation had it easier when it came to making and saving money. Can I ask him to be more thrifty?"
... What are your thoughts? Should they ask him to curb his spending or should he get to enjoy spending his hard earned money?
