A Lasting Power of Attorney is the legal document that allows an individual ‘the Attorney’ appointed by you ‘the Donor’ to deal with your affairs if you are ever incapacitated.
Incapacity is often thought of as Alzheimer’s Disease, yet it could be caused by many things, eg: car accident, stroke, cancer.
Creating a Lasting Power of Attorney whilst you are fit and of sound mind will empower your loved ones to deal with your affairs if ever you are not.
It will avoid the need for Court of Protection.
We are experienced in guiding you through the process and undertaking the completion of the complex forms. A Lasting Power of Attorney is not effective until it has been registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (a separate fee is payable to OPG for this) and we are happy to do this for you.
As with all our services, our advice is entirely free and without obligation.
