Our specialist team of private client advisers can assist in a wide range of matters related to Powers of Attorney.
Powers of Attorney are legal documents whereby a person can give another person(s) the authority to make certain decisions on their behalf. On 1st October 2007, Lasting Powers of Attorneys (LPAs) were introduced to replace the old style Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA). There are two types of LPAs:
Whilst EPAs are still valid, they only relate to property and financial affairs decisions. Should you wish to give authority over your health and welfare, you will need to make an LPA. It is recommended that everyone should have a Power of Attorney to save your friends or family difficulties which would arise later on down the line, should you should lose capacity without having such a document in place.

Donna is an experienced professional whose warm personality enhances her skilled advice, and we greatly appreciated her detailed guidance in the preparation of our Wills a few years ago.
