Powers of attorney, in plain English.
A lasting power of attorney, an LPA, lets people you choose make decisions for you. They step in if illness, injury or age means you cannot make them yourself.
You make it while you still have capacity: you can understand and make your own decisions. It is only used if it is needed.
There are two kinds. A property and financial affairs LPA covers money, bills, bank accounts and your home. A health and welfare LPA covers medical treatment, care and where you live. Most people make both.
Without an LPA your family cannot simply step in. For money and property, they usually have to apply to the Court of Protection to become a deputy. That takes months and costs more. Health and care decisions are usually made by doctors and carers instead, in your best interests. Aaron drafts the documents, acts as certificate provider (the independent person who confirms you understand them and are not under pressure), and registers them with the Office of the Public Guardian as part of the fixed fee.

Arranging this for a parent?
The lasting power of attorney is your parent’s. Aaron takes instructions from your parent, and will see them on their own for part of the appointment.

What is a lasting power of attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets people you trust make decisions for you. They step in if illness, injury or age leaves you unable to make them yourself. You make it while you have mental capacity, the ability to understand and make a decision. It is only used if it is needed.

What happens if I lose capacity without an LPA?
Without an LPA, your family cannot simply step in. Even paying your bills or dealing with your home becomes a matter for the Court of Protection. The court must appoint a "deputy". That usually takes months, costs a good deal more than an LPA, and the deputy is supervised and pays fees each year. An LPA made in advance avoids all of that. Your chosen attorneys can act as soon as it is needed.

How many types of LPA are there?
Two. A property and financial affairs LPA covers money, bank accounts, bills and property. A health and welfare LPA covers medical care, where you live and day-to-day welfare. It can only be used for decisions you lack the capacity to make yourself. Most people make both together.

How long does it take to register an LPA?
Drafting and signing takes one to two weeks. The LPA then has to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) before it can be used, and registration usually takes 8 to 10 weeks, sometimes longer (GOV.UK). That is why it is best not to wait: an unregistered LPA is no use in an emergency. Aaron handles the registration as part of the fixed fee.

Do you register the LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian?
Yes. Drafting the LPA correctly is only half the job. It must be signed, witnessed and registered in the right order to be valid. Aaron deals with the whole process, including sending it to the OPG and answering any queries, so you receive a registered LPA that is ready to use. The OPG charges its own registration fee for each LPA. Doing your LPAs with your will also takes a fixed amount off the fee, once, however many documents you make; the amount is on the fees page.
