These are documents that enable you to give legal authority to a person or persons you trust, called Attorneys, to manage your affairs for you or make decisions on your behalf, when you are not in a position to do so yourself, for example following an accident, stroke or the onset of dementia.
This type of LPA allows your Attorneys to handle your financial matters, such as drawing your pension, paying bills, or selling property on your behalf.
This LPA covers decisions related to your health and personal welfare, such as the type of care you receive. It can only be used once you lose mental capacity.
Both types of LPA must be registered by the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) before your Attorneys can use them. We guide you through the entire process, including form preparation and submission.
OPG fees apply and are payable directly to them; our service includes full support for registration.
Although we all tend to think of Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney as useful for later life, it’s important to think what would happen now if you were unfortunate enough to have an accident or serious illness. LPAs ensure your trusted people can step in smoothly, at any age.
Information on this page is general in nature and not personal legal advice. LPAs have specific legal requirements; we prepare documents on behalf of APS Legal & Associates Ltd.
