Powers of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) can give someone the legal authority to make decisions for you on matters such as property, financial affairs, health and welfare issues. Our Powers of Attorney solicitors in Stoke Gifford can advise you on the conditions to include in an LPA, draft the document for you, arrange for it to be signed and deal with its registration ready for use.

Having a Lasting Power of Attorney in place will give you and your family the peace of mind of knowing that, should you ever be unable to manage your own affairs, your trusted attorney will be able to step in straightaway to help you.

If you do not have an LPA, your loved ones would need to apply to the court for a deputyship order. This can take many months and is a more complex and more expensive option, so it is always recommended that everyone have an LPA in place, just in case it is ever needed.

Wills and probate

We advise clients on Wills and estate planning, ensuring that their assets are protected and passed on to the next generation in the way that they want.
