For complete peace of mind and because often we don’t know what is round the corner in our lives, it is a good idea to have a Lasting Power of Attorney (formerly known as an Enduring Power of Attorney) in place, so that should anything unforeseen happen in the future (e.g. a period in hospital, or physical or mental ill health) then you can appoint people (attorneys) to look after your finances, your property and also your health and welfare. They would make decisions on your behalf and deal with the practicalities when you yourself are not capable of dealing with those things.
We recommend that everyone should have a Power of Attorney in place so that if their circumstances were to change in the future then somebody would be able to look after their finances and affairs.
We offer a first class service in preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney (both finance and welfare) going through the implications with the donor i.e. the person making the Power of Attorney, registering it at the Office of the Public Guardian, and providing you with practical advice as to how to use it when dealing with banks or building societies and selling property.
