Powers of Attorney

We draft Powers of Attorney and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) for clients, appointing representatives to deal with affairs on their behalf if necessary.

A Lasting Power of Attorney allows someone to deal with your affairs should you ever become unable to manage them. You can make two types of LPA:

• Property and financial affairs LPA; and
• Health and welfare LPA

A property and financial affairs LPA enables an attorney to deal with issues such as paying bills, managing your bank account and looking after your property.

A health and welfare LPA allows them to make decisions about your care, such as where you will live and what your daily routine will be.

Without an LPA, your family would need to apply for a deputyship order, which is a far more complex process, as well as being expensive. It also takes several months to arrange, so it could make matters difficult while it is being processed.

If you put an LPA in place, this can be kept in case it is ever needed in the future. Our Powers of Attorney solicitors draft and advise on LPAs and can help you ensure that you have the protection and assistance you need.
