Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)

Protect Your Future and Stay in Control

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) ensures that someone you trust can manage your affairs if you ever become unable to do so yourself. Without one in place, your loved ones may face unnecessary stress, delays, and expense at an already difficult time.

What Happens If You Don’t Have an LPA?

If you lose mental capacity and haven’t made a Lasting Power of Attorney, your family cannot automatically act on your behalf. Instead, they may need to apply to the Court of Protection for permission to manage your affairs.

This process can:

• Take 6 months or more

• Cost a few thousand pounds

• Involve ongoing court applications and fees (currently £421 per application, excluding solicitor costs)

• Become even more complicated if disputes arise

How a Lasting Power of Attorney Helps

By preparing an LPA in advance, you:

• Choose who will make decisions for you

• Avoid court delays and unnecessary expense

• Gain peace of mind knowing your wishes will be respected

There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney, and both are equally important:

✅ Property & Financial Affairs LPA

Allows your chosen attorneys to manage matters such as:

• Bank accounts and bills

• Property and investments

• Pensions and benefits

✅ Health & Welfare LPA

Covers decisions about:

• Medical treatment and care

• Living arrangements

• Life‑sustaining treatment

These decisions are deeply personal, which is why it’s so important that you choose the people who will act for you — not the courts.
