Creating a Power of Attorney is one of the most important legal steps you can take to protect your future.

Whether you're planning ahead for later life, living with a medical condition or simply want someone you trust to be able to manage your affairs if necessary, a solicitor can help ensure your wishes are legally documented.

A professionally prepared Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) reduces the risk of errors, avoids delays and provides reassurance that the document will work when it is needed.

What Does a Power of Attorney Solicitor Do?

A solicitor can assist with:

  • Explaining the different types of LPA. 
  • Preparing legal documents. 
  • Advising on suitable attorneys. 
  • Drafting instructions and preferences. 
  • Registering the LPA. 
  • Advising on revoking or replacing an existing LPA. 
  • Providing wider estate planning advice. 

 

Many firms also advise on wills, Probate and trusts.
