Plan ahead and protect your future. Our expert solicitors can help you create a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) that ensures your wishes are respected – whatever lies ahead.
Planning for the future can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you appoint trusted people to manage your affairs if you’re ever unable to do so yourself. Whether you’re looking to protect your financial matters, health decisions, or both, our dedicated Lasting Power of Attorney solicitors provide clear, compassionate guidance every step of the way, helping you feel confident, supported, and in control.
Life is unpredictable. Whether you’re planning ahead or supporting someone you love, putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place means you have peace of mind knowing trusted people will look after your affairs if you lose the ability to do so yourself.
Without an LPA, family members may face a lengthy, costly court process to gain authority, adding stress to difficult times. Our LPA solicitors help you avoid that by making the process straightforward and clear.
A Lasting Power of Attorney is an important step for anyone who wants to plan ahead and protect their future. If any of the following apply to you, creating an LPA can provide peace of mind and ensure your wishes are respected.
Creating an LPA is recommended if:
A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you appoint someone you trust to make important decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so yourself. There are two types of LPAs, each covering different areas of your life, allowing you to choose the kind of support you want in place for the future.
This gives your attorney(s) the authority to manage your financial matters, such as handling bank accounts, paying bills, managing investments, or selling property on your behalf.
This covers decisions about your day-to-day care, medical treatment, and living arrangements. It only takes effect if you lose the mental capacity to make these decisions yourself.
You can create one or both types of LPAs depending on your individual needs and circumstances. Our Lasting Power of Attorney solicitors will help you understand these options and guide you through setting up the most suitable arrangements.
Setting up an LPA might feel overwhelming, but our specialist Lasting Power of Attorney solicitors are here to make the process straightforward and reassuring. We’ll guide you through every step, ensuring your LPA is tailored to your needs and legally sound.
To make things even easier, we also offer home visits for elderly or vulnerable clients who find it difficult to travel, providing the same level of expert support in the comfort of their own home.
We begin by understanding your personal situation and goals. We’ll explain your options clearly and help you choose the right attorneys who will act in your best interests.
Our team carefully prepares your LPA documents to accurately reflect your wishes and meet all legal requirements. You can include binding instructions or non-binding preferences to give specific guidance to your attorneys.
We support you and your chosen certificate provider through the signing process. This includes ensuring you understand the document fully and are making decisions freely, without any pressure.
Once signed, we handle the registration of your LPA, liaising with the Office of the Public Guardian and addressing any questions to prevent delays.
Setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney is an important step in planning for the future, and it’s essential to work with solicitors you can trust. Our specialist LPA solicitors provide expert, compassionate support tailored to your individual needs.
Whether you’re preparing for unexpected situations, protecting your own interests, or caring for vulnerable loved ones, we’re here to help you make informed and confident decisions.
Don’t leave your future to chance. Take control today with expert, compassionate support from our specialist Lasting Power of Attorney solicitors. Call your nearest office or email us at [email protected], and we’ll get back to you promptly. Alternatively, you can fill out our contact form above.
No. Without a legally registered Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), your spouse or next of kin does not have the legal authority to make decisions about your finances, property, or health and welfare. This can cause delays and complications, especially in urgent situations. To ensure the people you trust can step in when needed, speak to our LPA solicitors today.
We usually complete the drafting of your Lasting Power of Attorney within 7–10 working days. Once signed, it is submitted to the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) for registration, which typically takes 8–12 weeks, depending on OPG timescales. Start the process today with our expert LPA solicitors so your documents are ready when they’re needed most.
Without a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, if you lose mental capacity, your loved ones will not automatically have the legal authority to manage your finances, property, or health and welfare, potentially leading to your bank accounts being frozen and significant delays in accessing funds for your care. Your family would need to apply to the Court of Protection to become your Deputy, a process that is often lengthy, complex, and more expensive than setting up an LPA, and it may not align with your wishes. To ensure your affairs are managed by trusted individuals according to your preferences, speak to our expert LPA solicitors today.
