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
