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.
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
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:
Allows your chosen attorneys to manage matters such as:
Bank accounts and bills
Property and investments
Pensions and benefits
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.
Making a Lasting Power of Attorney is an important decision and should never feel rushed. I will guide you through the entire process, meeting with you as many times as needed to ensure you are completely comfortable with your choices — all for a fixed, transparent fee.
Planning ahead gives you control, clarity, and peace of mind.
