Our solicitors can be appointed as attorneys for individuals who have no family members or trusted friends to assist. ere are three main types of LPA available to the public, each covering a subject distinct from the rest: • Property and Financial A airs LPAs; • Health and Welfare LPAs; and • Business LPAs. We can help you decide on which LPAs are most appropriate to your circumstances and we can discuss which people might make good candidates to take up attorneyship on your behalf. In order to make an LPA, much like making aWill, youmust have enough mental capacity to understand the nature of the document. For people who sadly do not have the capacity to make an LPA we can advise on the alternative, Court of Protection matters. We find that many people unfortunately overlook making LPAs until a ‘crisis point’ arises, such as a physical accident or the diagnosis of a condition such as dementia. is can all be avoided by good, early planning as LPAs take a minimum of three months to be fully registered with the UK courts before they can be used. is is why it is best to make LPAs while you are still able to manage your own a airs independently, just in case of later emergency. Remember: LPAs are best to make while life is easy and you have the time and leisure to make those arrangements without the added pressure of a crisis in the background. Jasper Vincent Solicitors offer expertise across the full spectrum of private client work and assist families, individuals and businesses alike.
