Lasting Power of Attorney

We will draft a Power of Attorney in accordance with your requirements and fully compliant with the latest Regulations.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) were introduced by the Mental Capacity Act 2005 from 1 October 2007. They allow individuals to appoint Attorneys to look after their property and financial affairs (a Property and Affairs LPA) and also to make health and personal welfare decisions (a Personal Welfare LPA) when they lack the capacity to make these decisions themselves in the future. The Attorney(s) can only use the LPA after it has been registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.

There is a form for a Personal Welfare LPA and a separate form for a Property and Affairs LPA. If you are making both Lasting Power of Attorneys, each document must be registered separately.
