    Lasting Power of Attorney

    Protect your future with a Lasting Power of Attorney – we handle the entire process from drafting to registration.

    What is a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?

    An 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.

    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

    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

    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
