Lasting Powers of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you decide who makes decisions on your behalf if you ever lose capacity. Our solicitors make the process straightforward and stress-free.
How It Works
We know that cost and process can feel uncertain. Here’s exactly what to expect.
Get in touch and we’ll have an initial conversation completely free of charge. No commitment, no pressure — just honest guidance.
One of our solicitors will meet you at a time and place that suits you — to walk through the process, answer questions, and understand your situation fully.
Before you make any decision, you’ll receive a written quote with your exact fixed fee. You decide whether to proceed — absolutely no obligation.
Once instructed, we take care of everything. Your dedicated solicitor keeps you informed at every stage, from start to finish.
“You will always know the full cost before making any decision. Our job is to guide you — never to pressure you.”
The GLCS Team
There are two separate LPAs, each covering different areas of your life. Many people choose to make both.
Covers decisions about your money, property, bank accounts, bills, and investments. Your attorney can act on your behalf while you still have capacity if you wish, or only if you lose it.
Covers decisions about your medical care, daily routine, and living arrangements. This LPA can only be used once you have lost mental capacity.
Fixed fees agreed in writing before we begin. You will always know the full cost before making any decision.
All fees include preparation by one of our solicitors and full registration with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).
An LPA is a legal document that lets you appoint one or more people (called attorneys) to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity. There are two types: Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare.
Without an LPA, nobody — not even your spouse or children — has automatic legal authority to manage your affairs if you lose capacity. They would need to apply to the Court of Protection, which is expensive, slow, and stressful.
Your attorney should be someone you trust completely — a family member, close friend, or professional. They must be 18 or over and, for a Property & Financial Affairs LPA, not bankrupt. You can appoint more than one attorney.
The OPG currently takes around 20 weeks to register an LPA. This is why it’s important to set one up sooner rather than later — the process cannot be rushed and it must be done while you have mental capacity.
Yes — while you have mental capacity you can revoke an LPA at any time, change your attorneys, or make a new one. Once capacity is lost, changes are no longer possible.
They cover different areas of your life, so most people benefit from having both. Our four-LPA package (both types for a couple) is the most cost-effective option.
