Expert LPA solicitors helping you plan ahead with care and expertise. [Create Your LPA](/contact)[01628 777233](tel:01628777233) ## Why You Need a Lasting Power of Attorney 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 ## Property and Financial Affairs LPA 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 ## Health and Welfare LPA 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 ## Our LPA Solicitor Fees We believe in transparent, fixed pricing for our **LPA services**. You'll know exactly what you'll pay before we start. ### Fixed Fee LPA Pricing 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.
