Lasting Powers Of Attorney Solicitors
An LPA (Lasting Power of Attorney) is a document you can prepare which appoints one or more people to manage your affairs for you if you become unable to manage on your own. These people are known as your 'Attorneys'.
WHY DO I NEED ONE?
Even if you are married or in a registered civil partnership, your next of kin have no automatic legal right to look after your affairs for you. If you have property, savings or investments in your own name then you are the only person legally able to deal with these.
If you suffer an unexpected illness or accident leaving you unable to manage your own affairs, you will need somebody you trust to look after your affairs for you.
If you lose the ability to manage your own affairs, and you do not have an LPA (or its predecessor - an Enduring Power of Attorney) in place then an application must be made to the Court of Protection for a 'Deputy' to be appointed to look after things for you. This may or may not be a person you would have chosen yourself. The application to Court can take several weeks and is likely to cost much more than the preparation of an LPA.
There are two types of LPA you can make.
1. Property and Affairs LPA
A 'Property and Affairs LPA' gives your chosen attorneys the power to operate your bank accounts, make investment decisions, sign tax returns and buy and sell property. The attorneys are not permitted to make gifts (other than those usually made by you), or sign your will.
2. Personal Welfare LPA
A 'Personal Welfare LPA' gives your chosen attorneys the power to decide on issues such as where you will live, your care and medical treatment. Your attorneys cannot make decisions in any area where you have the mental capacity to make the decision yourself
We can prepare your LPAs, act as a certificate provider and register them from just £400 plus the registration fee of £82 per LPA.
We offer discounts for multiple LPAs , 2 for £600 or all 4 for a couple for £800 plus registration fees.
