A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document which allows you to appoint up to 4 people of your choice to make decisions on your behalf, should you ever become unable to do so yourself or would simply like to have help managing your financial affairs. There are 2 types of LPA to choose from, one deals with your financial affairs and the other your health and welfare interests.
Our specialist lawyers can handle the preparation and administration of LPAs. We believe everyone should be encouraged to grant lasting powers of attorney, which will be invaluable if they should ever lose mental capacity.
Our experienced team can guide you through the entire LPA process, including:
- Explaining the process
- Helping you choose the suitable type of LPA
- Drafting documents
- Providing assistance to attorneys to help them carry out their roles effectively
- Taking on the role as your attorney if you would like us to do so
If someone does become mentally incapacitated and no Lasting Power of Attorney (or Enduring Power of Attorney) is in place, we can help guide you through the Court of Protection procedures that are required when dealing with an incapacitated person’s property and financial affairs, and any welfare decisions that may need to be made.
In 2017 we received the Law Society’s prestigious Excellence in Private Client Practice award for our work in this area of law. 
We can provide different pricing options depending on your budget and we are happy to have an initial chat without obligation – contact us today.
Testimonials
Having previously been with a local family solicitor I did not feel I was being supported nor did I feel the best interests of my family were at the heart. On speaking with Victoria I felt that she had a completely different attitude and was confident she would get me the best outcome. On moving to Victoria she instantly worked on getting myself out of the pool for which I am incredibly thankful. With the support of a fantastic barrister chosen by Victoria and her support we have been through a Fact Find, had a resolutions style assessment from an independent social worker and have now been reunited as a family!
Very good to deal with, helpful and timely responses.
As always a smooth, timely and pragmatic approach to conveyancing. Both Tracy and Hayley have been great at expediently transacting on what could have been a complicated transaction. Communication has been consistently good throughout and an experience base that can be relied upon.
I was very impressed with everything to do with my will update. Professional advice and opinion is always essential. Very satisfied with everything, Tom is a very knowledgeable and attentive solicitor. Thank you.
My wife and I recently used Tom Calder at Wollens Torquay to prepare LPAs for us both. Tom was very professional and approachable and we were very pleased with the service we had. We have previously used Wollens for property transactions and we will certainly be using them again.
We were very impressed with the outcome of our wills due to the complexity of our situation. Tom took his time to offer the solution that we feel happy with.
