A Lasting Power of Attorney(LPA) is a legal document that gives authority to another person act on our behalf should you become unable to look after your affairs yourself, perhaps through illness, accident or advancing years.
Our team will guide you through the process and prepare the applications whilst acting as your 'Certificate Provider'.
If you were ever in the position where you could no longer make decisions for yourself, having a LPA in place ensures these decisions will be made by someone you trust and will prevent a stranger or someone you don’t trust from having these powers.
If you do not have these documents in place, your loved ones (including a spouse or partner) must apply to a court for these powers - adding considerable cost, time and stress.
It is critical that such arrangements are made while you are fit and healthy and have the mental capacity to do so as the law does not permit you to make such provisions after you have lost your mental capacity.
Our team has a depth of experience and offers responsible, honest and friendly guidance on preparing or updating your Will.

Allows your ‘attorneys’ to manage your financial life - money, property and other financial assets.
This may include selling your home, investing your money, paying your bills and care home fees and generally looking after your assets.
Allows your ‘attorneys’ to manage personal and healthcare matters - such as where you live, what you eat, who looks after you and what type of medical treatment.
This also can include any ‘life sustaining treatment’ you may need.
We provide a fixed-fee personal service in our Porthcawl office, by video consultation or home visits on request.
During your appointment, we will discuss your wishes in detail, offering advice on the different types of LPAs, the role of an attorney and any preference or instructions you wish to include.
The LPAs are then prepared and a second appointment is booked in for you to sign your application. We will act as your ‘certificate provider’ and will also liaise with your attorneys to ensure they understand their role and encourage them to get in touch with any questions they may have.
We will then submit your applications to the Office of the Public Guardian on your behalf and when the registration process is complete, the original document will be returned to you for safe-keeping.
