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.

Testimonials
Knowledgeable and super helpful. I can’t recommend Simon highly enough. I needed quite a complicated legal agreement for a planning application at very short notice and he was really efficient and professional. From outset I felt very confident and reassured that he could get it done.
I cannot praise Wollens Barnstaple branch highly enough for excellent, professional service when selling and purchasing property. I would happily recommend them and intend using them again for further legal matters. Thank you so much Andrew Wood for making it all such a smooth and stress free process.
2nd transaction Andrew has helped us with – very easy to deal with, friendly, helpful support staff and overall good value. Would highly recommend
I was very pleased with the service provided for the recent sale and purchase of my properties. Andrew was very approachable, informative and efficient in dealing with my enquiries during the process which all helped for both transactions to go through smoothly. I would definitely recommend Wollens with no hesitation. Thank you
We had not had to seek advise on this matter before, Rhoda conducted the work in a very professional and clear way. Her work with our agent bought the matter to a very successful conclusion.
Rhoda and her team reacted to and responded to all my and the other party’s emails in a fast informed and efficient manner. Definitely a professional firm of solicitors I will use in the future.
