Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors in Hastings

Whilst it’s important to plan for the event of your passing, there are also protections to arrange for your future when you will begin to need care and support. The security that banks, hospitals, and other institutions afford you can become a hurdle when they make the process of decision making and asset retrieval impossible due to the decline of an individual’s mental capacity.

Creating a Lasting Power of Attorney (or LPA) is a way to entrust that these decisions are made by someone who you believe will have your best interests at heart. If you intend to grant someone the authority to act as an Attorney under an LPA, or you have been appointed as an Attorney yourself, then contacting an LPA solicitor can help to clarify what these responsibilities mean.

How our lasting power of attorney solicitors in Hastings can help you

Advising you on the types of Lasting Power of Attorney available

When you are considering your options, it is important to be aware that a Lasting Power of Attorney can be used to cover the management of your finances and day-to-day affairs, or any decisions related to your health.

The two types of Lasting Power of Attorney you can create are:

  • Property and Financial Affairs LPA
  • Health and Welfare LPA

Our expert team can work alongside you to carefully review your circumstances and explain the implications of creating both types of LPA if you were to lose the capacity to manage your affairs. From here, you can make an informed decision on how to proceed,  and what directions you would like to make.

Creating a Lasting Power of Attorney

If you have all the information you need and are ready to create a Lasting Power of Attorney, our specialist solicitors can guide you through every step involved in the process. This includes selecting the type of LPA you would like to make and choosing who you would like to act as an Attorney on your behalf.

We can draft the LPA for you and ensure that it contains all of the necessary provisions so that it works exactly as you wish if it were ever to come into effect.

Registering a Lasting Power of Attorney

Lasting Powers of Attorney need to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. Any mistakes made in an application can lead to significant delays, so it is vital that the process is handled efficiently and accurately.

Our Lasting Power of Attorney solicitors in Hastings can register an LPA on your behalf, meaning you can rest assured that everything will be taken care of quickly and efficiently.

Reviewing an existing Lasting Power of Attorney

If you already have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place (or an Enduring Power of Attorney), it is important that you regularly review its terms to make sure that it is still well suited to your circumstances.

We can help you review any documents you currently have in place and, where necessary, help you to make any amendments.

Advising Attorneys

Acting as an Attorney is a major responsibility and, if it’s something you have no previous experience with, can be a daunting prospect. If you have any concerns about your role as an Attorney or need advice on what actions you will be able to take according to the terms set out, our team are here to help.

On a similar note, we can also advise you on your options if a loved one has not created an LPA, but has lost the capacity to make decisions for themselves, such as applying to the Court of Protection to be appointed as a Deputy.
