Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors in Windsor
Professional service with a personal touchAn LPA is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose capacity. It protects you and your family from uncertainty in the future.
It ensures your wishes are respected and provides reassurance and clarity for your loved ones at what can be a very difficult time.
We Help You Set Up:
There are two types of LPA, and both serve different but equally important purposes.
- Property & Financial Affairs LPA: Manage bank accounts, bills, and assets
- Health & Welfare LPA: Make decisions about medical care and living arrangements
Property & Financial Affairs LPA
This allows your appointed attorney(s) to manage your financial life. They can:
- Pay your bills and manage your bank accounts
- Handle pensions or benefits
- Make decisions about your property or investments
- Sell your home, if needed
This can be used even while you still have capacity, with your permission.
Health & Welfare LPA
This can only be used once you’ve lost capacity, and it enables your attorney(s) to:
- Make decisions about your daily routine, such as washing, dressing, or eating
- Decide where you live and who cares for you
- Accept or refuse medical treatment on your behalf
You can also specify your wishes around life-sustaining treatment.

Why Set Up an LPA Now?
It’s too late to create an LPA once capacity is lost. By acting now, you avoid court intervention and give your loved ones clarity. If you lose capacity and haven’t created one, your family would need to apply to the Court of Protection – a time-consuming and costly process that leaves loved ones in limbo.
Creating an LPA now means:
- You stay in control of who makes decisions for you
- Your family avoids delays, uncertainty, and court intervention
- You get peace of mind knowing your affairs are protected
