If you become unable to make decisions for yourself in the future, someone will need to make decisions for you. Who does this will depend on the situation.
Generally, professionals will make decisions about your health and social care, and your family or carers will decide on day-to-day matters.
If you wish, you can officially appoint someone you trust to make decisions for you.
This is called making a lasting power of attorney (LPA), and enables you to give another person the right to make decisions about your care and welfare.
