Lasting Power of Attorney
Stay in control — even if life takes an unexpected turn.
A Lasting Power of Attorney lets people you trust make decisions on your behalf if you lose the capacity to do so yourself.
The two types of LPA
- Property & Financial Affairs — covers bank accounts, bills, property and investments. It can be used with your permission while you still have capacity.
- Health & Welfare — covers medical treatment, care, and where you live. It can only be used if you lose mental capacity.
Why set one up now?
You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity. If you wait until it's needed, it's too late — and loved ones face a long, expensive Court of Protection application.
What we do
- Talk you through your options and choice of attorneys
- Prepare both LPAs in line with OPG requirements
- Act as your certificate provider where appropriate
- Submit the documents for registration with the Office of the Public Guardian
