Lasting Power of Attorney Services
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)is a legal document that enables you to appoint a trusted individual to make decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to do so. There are two types of LPAs:
Over time, it’s natural to face physical and mental challenges that may affect our ability to make decisions independently. By setting up an LPA, you can ensure that someone you trust is authorised to manage your affairs, offering both practical assistance and peace of mind for you and your family.
Without a valid LPA, the Court of Protection may need to step in to appoint someone to act on your behalf. This process can be time-consuming, costly, and stressful for your loved ones. Creating an LPA in advance allows you to avoid this situation and ensures your wishes are upheld.
Our team is dedicated to helping you create a legally valid Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). We ensure the process is clear and straightforward, allowing you to appoint someone you trust to manage your affairs while accurately documenting your wishes in compliance with legal requirements.
