Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is one of the most important legal documents you can have. It allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself – whether through illness, accident, or mental incapacity.

Without an LPA, your family may face a lengthy and expensive Court of Protection application to manage your affairs if you lose capacity. Our experienced LPA solicitors help you understand your options and create LPAs that give you peace of mind.

• Protect your future choices
• Choose who makes decisions for you
• Avoid costly court applications
• Clear, legally binding documents

This LPA allows your attorneys to manage your finances, property, investments and pay bills on your behalf. It can be used while you still have mental capacity (with your consent) or if you lose capacity.

What Your Attorney Can Do

• Managing bank accounts and investments
• Paying bills and managing expenses
• Buying and selling property
• Dealing with tax affairs

This LPA allows your attorneys to make decisions about your healthcare and personal welfare if you lose capacity. This includes decisions about medical treatment, care arrangements and daily routine.

What Your Attorney Can Do

• Medical treatment decisions
• Care home and living arrangements
• Day-to-day care and routine
• Life-sustaining treatment decisions

We believe in transparent, fixed pricing for our LPA services. You'll know exactly what you'll pay before we start.

• Single LPA — From £300 + VAT*
• Both LPAs (same person) — From £450 + VAT*
• Couple (4 LPAs) — From £900 + VAT*

* Plus OPG registration fee of £92 per LPA. VAT is charged at 20%.

We make creating your LPA straightforward and stress-free:

1. Initial Consultation

We discuss your needs, explain both types of LPA, and help you choose attorneys.

2. Document Preparation

We prepare your LPA documents with clear instructions and any specific preferences.

3. Signing & Witnessing

We guide you through proper signing and witnessing requirements.

4. Registration

We register your LPAs with the Office of the Public Guardian on your behalf.

You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity. If you wait until you need one, it may be too late. With registration taking 15-20 weeks, planning ahead is essential.

Creating an LPA isn't admitting something will go wrong – it's sensible planning that protects you and your family. Our power of attorney solicitors can help you put these important protections in place today. Most clients deal with making a will at the same time, and the cost of an LPA is published in full alongside our other wills, powers of attorney and probate fees.
