It is important to be prepared for the future and preparing a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint people who you trust to step in and make decisions for you if you should lose the capacity to make those decisions for yourself. Please note these do not need to apply only when you have lost capacity and it may be because of mobility reasons. You can only set up an LPA if you have the capacity.

There are two types. There is one for property and finance and a separate one for health and care. We can advise you about the benefits of either or both types and guide you through the process of the application and registering at court.

These costs are fixed so they will not be increased.

There are further offers if two parties wish to instruct at the same time so often couples can benefit if they are obtaining property and health LPA along with their partner.
