Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) grants someone you trust the legal authority to make important decisions regarding your residence, finances, healthcare, and well-being in the event that you are unable to make these decisions yourself. You have the option to create either a ‘health and welfare LPA’ or a ‘property and financial affairs LPA,’ or both, based on your specific requirements.

Court of Protection Solicitors

If a loved one has become incapable of handling their own personal affairs, sometimes due to dementia or a brain injury, it can become necessary to apply to the Court of Protection for deputyship over their affairs.

This application would then enable you or someone else to assume the role of their Deputy and manage their financial and/or healthcare decisions on their behalf. You can also make one-time applications to the Court of Protection in order to address specific matters.
