Lasting Powers of Attorney

In short — We prepare and register both types of LPA, document a robust Mental Capacity Assessment, and can act as Professional Attorney.

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) lets you appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf should you lose the mental capacity to make your own. Many “home-made” LPAs miss the additional wording or guidance that can be so helpful in practice — so it’s worth getting them right.

We can help you with:

  • Understanding the importance of making both types of LPA — Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare
  • Completing and documenting your Mental Capacity Assessment so it is robust and stands up to scrutiny, avoiding challenges to your state of mind later
  • Making sure your LPAs meet all legal requirements and reflect your true intentions
  • Clear advice on appointing Attorneys and understanding the powers granted to them
  • Acting as a Professional Attorney to safeguard the best interests of the person who has lost capacity
  • Registering your LPAs with the Office of the Public Guardian so they’re ready to use should you ever need them
