A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions about your finances or health if you cannot.
Property & Financial Affairs: Manages bank accounts, investments, bills, and property transactions.
Health & Welfare: Makes decisions about care, residence, and medical treatment.
Without an LPA, the Court of Protection decides who manages your affairs, which can be slow, costly, and may not reflect your wishes.
Anyone over 18 you trust — family, friends, or a professional.
It must be done while you have mental capacity. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
Typically 8–10 weeks with the Office of the Public Guardian, but we handle the process to avoid delays.
