Putting a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place protects you if you ever lose the ability to make decisions yourself.

It’s not just something for later life. Accidents, illness or unexpected events can happen at any age, and without an LPA, your family may face delay, stress and unnecessary expense.

I provide clear, fixed-fee LPA services with home visits available locally in Cornwall and Devon and secure online appointments across the UK. Everything is explained in plain English. No jargon. No hidden fees..

As a full member of the Society of Will Writers, I work to a strict Code of Practice, so you can feel confident your Will is prepared professionally and securely.

What Is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity.

There are two types:

Property & Financial Affairs LPA

Covers decisions about:

• Bank accounts

• Bills

• Property

• Investments

• Day-to-day finances

Health & Welfare LPA

Covers decisions about:

• Medical treatment

• Care arrangements

• Living arrangements

• Life-sustaining treatment

Most people choose to put both in place.

Why an LPA Is So Important

Without a registered LPA:

• Your family cannot automatically manage your finances

• They may need to apply to the Court of Protection

• The process can take months

• Costs increase significantly

• Decisions may be made by someone you wouldn’t have chosen

An LPA gives clarity and control.

It protects both you and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions About LPAs

Do I need a solicitor to make a Lasting Power of Attorney?

You are not required to use a solicitor, but the forms must be completed correctly and registered properly to be valid.

When should I set up an LPA?

The best time is while you are well and have full mental capacity. Once capacity is lost, it is too late.

How long does it take to register an LPA?

Registration typically takes several weeks once submitted to the Office of the Public Guardian.

Combine Your Will & LPA

Many clients choose to put their Will and LPAs in place at the same time.

Planning for incapacity is just as important as planning for death.

Package options are available for those arranging both together.
