Lasting Power of Attorney

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) Services in the UK

Protect your future by choosing who makes decisions if you can’t

Losing the ability to make decisions doesn’t just happen in later life — it can happen suddenly through illness, accident, or disability. Without a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), your loved ones may face costly delays and even be prevented from accessing joint accounts or making essential decisions on your behalf.

At Lee W Denham Financial Services (Wills) Ltd, we help you put in place clear, legally valid LPAs so that people you trust can look after your health, welfare, property, and finances if you ever lose capacity.

Why a Lasting Power of Attorney is Essential

Many people put off making a will, but it’s essential if any of the following apply to you:

Avoid family stress

without an LPA, relatives may need to apply to the Court of Protection (a costly, lengthy process).

Protect your finances

without authority, your family may be locked out of joint bank accounts.

Secure your care

an LPA ensures your preferences for healthcare, care homes, and lifestyle are respected.

Choose who decides

instead of leaving decisions to the courts, you appoint the people you trust.

The Two Types of LPA

Both types must be set up while you still have mental capacity and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) before they can be used.

Property & Financial Affairs LPA

Allows your attorneys to:

Pay bills and manage bank accounts
Collect benefits, pensions, and income
Buy or sell property
Manage investments

Health & Welfare LPA

Allows your attorneys to:

Decide on medical treatment
Choose or liaise with care providers
Ensure you enjoy the lifestyle and care you prefer
Make decisions about life-sustaining treatment(if you choose to grant this power)
