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.

May I take this opportunity to say how much I appreciated your efforts in this regard. I feel that I was fully justified, once more, in calling on WBW Solicitors to handle this work, safe in the knowledge that they would have an expert to hand.
I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you and your team have done on my behalf. You’re a credit to WBW Solicitors and if anything arises in the future then I will return for your amazing services with the confidence knowing the job will be done professionally!
Thank you for all your help and advice during our sale and purchase. I am sure, for you, it is business as usual but you were a breath of fresh air against the background of local experts who kept reminding us about sales falling through and what we should or shouldn’t do.
I would like to thank you for all of your efforts to get the purchase completed as quickly as you did. It was all very much appreciated. I know house moves are never very easy and I am sure that you face many complicated things to do in order to get it all done and we couldn’t have got it finished without you. Thank you very much indeed once again and I wish you every success in the future.
Portia Woodhouse – her professional help, support and ability to empathise with my family’s situation was exceptional. I would have no issue with recommending her.
My husband and I were first time buyers, we knew nothing about the process and were both finding the whole thing very stressful. Debbie made the whole process from start to finish easy and enjoyable. She was always available to answer any questions, listened to us, kept us informed all the way through and was professional and a pleasure to deal with. I cannot recommend Debbie highly enough.
We were introduced to Laura Clarke who also enabled a smooth transition of our business in what was a short timescale.
We’d just like to say a big ‘thank you’ for the help and advice which you’ve provided, which has helped us significantly through this process (as we’ve had no prior experience of the eviction process).
Thanks again to Amy Read, Shana Broaders and Ashton Partridge for handling things so professionally and personably.
I have greatly appreciated the helpful way that you have steered my case to a satisfactory conclusion. Your patience, tenacity, clarity and skill have been impressive. It has certainly been a most enlightening learning experience….You made the whole process much easier for me and have explained each stage of it clearly. I really appreciate this. Thanks for all your help
I must say I’m really impressed with the speed and efficiency of WBW. This must be one of the fastest house sales I’ve ever heard of!
