A lasting power of attorney advice allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so in the future. Whether those decisions relate to your finances, property, health, or welfare, having a legally recognised arrangement in place ensures continuity, protection, and security for you and your family.

We take care of the paperwork, advise on potential complexities, and make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Advising on
Financial and Health Decisions
There are two main types of lasting power of attorney: one for property and financial affairs, and one for health and welfare. We advise on both, helping you decide which is right for your circumstances—or whether setting up both is the most practical choice. By preparing now, you protect yourself and ease the burden on your family in the future.

Creating a Power of Attorney
will give you peace of mind
A lasting Power of Attorney gives you peace of mind by appointing someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf. It may be that you no longer have that ability yourself. Whether through age, disability or infirmity, Lasting Power of Attorney gives you control even when circumstances mean that you’re not able to make or exercise your own choices. You can also dictate when to invoke this right – for example, if you’re having difficulty getting out of the house or talking on the phone, you can appoint someone to legally act on your behalf. Alternatively, the LPA might only be triggered when you lack the capacity to make any decision yourself through illness or incapacity. Our team will guide you through everything and help you understand how best to implement your choices. Please contact Louise McCann, our Power of Attorney expert at Mark Redler & Co Solicitors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should I appoint as my attorney?
-
You should appoint someone you completely trust, such as a spouse, partner, relative, or close friend. They must be over 18 and capable of making sound decisions on your behalf.
Can I have more than one attorney?
-
Yes. You can appoint multiple attorneys to act together, separately, or in different areas of responsibility, depending on your wishes.
What happens if I don’t set up a lasting power of attorney?
-
If you lose capacity without an LPA, your loved ones may need to apply to the Court of Protection to make decisions for you. This process is often lengthy and costly compared to setting up an LPA in advance.
Is a solicitor necessary to set up a power of attorney?
-
While you can complete the forms yourself, using a solicitor ensures the documents are legally sound, fully reflect your wishes, and avoid common errors that may cause delays.
Can an LPA be changed or cancelled later?
-
Yes. As long as you still have mental capacity, you can amend or revoke your LPA at any time.
