What a Lasting Power of Attorney does
A Lasting Power of Attorney, or LPA, lets you choose people you trust to make decisions for you if you lose the ability to make them yourself, through illness, an accident or old age. Without one, your family may have to apply to the Court of Protection, which is slow, costly and stressful.
The two types
Property and financial affairs: paying bills, dealing with the bank, managing investments and, if needed, selling your home. It can be used as soon as it is registered, with your consent.
Health and welfare: decisions about your care, where you live and medical treatment. It can only be used once you can no longer decide for yourself.
Most people make both.
How it works
A free first chat about who you want as your attorneys.
We meet by video call and fill in the forms together.
A certificate provider confirms you understand what you are signing. I can arrange this.
Everyone signs in the right order, and I send the LPAs to the Office of the Public Guardian to be registered.
Why do it now?
An LPA can only be made while you are still able to make decisions. If you wait until it is needed, it is too late.
Fees: one LPA, both LPAs for one person, or all four for a couple are on our Pricing page. The Office of the Public Guardian also charges a registration fee for each LPA.
