Choose who can act for you
An LPA lets you choose the people you trust to make decisions on your behalf, including decisions about your finances, property, health and care. You can also set instructions and limits on what they can do.

The two types of LPA
Property and Financial Affairs
LP1FAppoint people you trust to help with money, bills, property and financial affairs.
Health and Welfare
LP1HAppoint people you trust to make decisions about care, treatment and wellbeing if you cannot decide yourself.
The two LPAs are legally separate and cover distinct areas of decision-making.
Either one can be put in place individually, or both can be arranged together for more comprehensive protection.
Why do I need a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A will decides what happens after you die. A Lasting Power of Attorney decides what happens if you are still here but can no longer act for yourself. Being a spouse, partner or child does not automatically give someone legal authority to manage your finances or make health and welfare decisions for you.
Put arrangements in place while you have capacity
An LPA can only be made while you have the mental capacity to make it. Illness, an accident or a sudden change in health can remove that opportunity, so putting one in place in advance preserves your choice.
Avoid leaving family without legal authority
A spouse, partner or child does not automatically have legal authority to act for you. Without an LPA, your family may need to apply to the Court of Protection, while important financial and care decisions can become harder to manage.

Common questions
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document for England and Wales. It lets you choose people you trust ('attorneys') to make decisions for you. A health and welfare LPA can only be used if you can't make a decision yourself. A property and financial affairs LPA can also be used while you can still decide, with your permission, if you choose that option. 'Attorney' here doesn't mean a lawyer.
Yes. A relative often makes the first enquiry. We will then speak directly with the person making the LPA before we accept any paid work, because the LPA is their decision.
We normally have your LPA drafted and ready for your review within a few working days of receiving your details. Once you're happy with it, the document must be signed and witnessed in a specific legal order. Registration is then carried out by the Office of the Public Guardian rather than by us. The OPG currently states that registration takes 8 to 10 weeks from the date it receives a correctly completed application. This timescale is set by the OPG and can be longer at busier periods or if there is a query on your application. Your LPA cannot be used until it has been registered.
A registered LPA has no expiry date and never needs renewing. It lasts until you die, or until you cancel it, which you can do at any time while you still have the mental capacity to make that decision. It can also end in a few other situations, such as your attorney becoming unable or unwilling to act with no replacement appointed, or the Court of Protection cancelling it.
Yes. Everything you share with us is treated as confidential and handled in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and we are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. Your information is held securely, access is limited to the people working on your LPA, and we never sell your data or pass it on for marketing. We share your details only where it is necessary to prepare and register your LPA, for example with the Office of the Public Guardian, your chosen attorneys and your certificate provider, or where the law requires us to. Full details are set out in our Privacy Policy.
A will says what happens after you die. An LPA is about decisions during your lifetime, if there comes a time when you cannot make them yourself.
