Powers of Attorney & Court of Protection

Experience

As life expectancy increases, handling your financial affairs later in life can become more difficult, whether due to physical or mental incapacity.  Many individuals provide for this outcome by making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). 

The LPA is something we ask all our clients (whatever their age!) to consider.  A LPA is made on a special form and is a very powerful financial document. We will not draw up a Lasting Power of Attorney without seeing you first.

Where a person is already unable to handle their own financial affairs it is too late for a LPA to be prepared.  A third party must apply to the Court of Protection to be appointed.  This can be a complicated, time consuming and lengthy procedure but with our team's experience in dealing with the courts we can offer the support and assistance required to ensure that the persons needs are catered for in the interim.
