Lasting Powers of Attorney

Life is full of surprises, and whilst many of them are welcome, it's important as we get older to plan for those that are unexpected.

It’s tempting to avoid thinking about the worst, but it makes practical sense to make sure we’ve arranged for someone we trust to make legal decisions on our behalf if we’re unable to make them ourselves.

Asking Carlsons’ experienced London solicitors to draft a professionally-prepared Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) protects you and your family should you become incapacitated.

Lasting Powers of Attorney give you the reassurance of knowing someone will be able to make legal decisions on your behalf according to your precise wishes should you become incapacitated.
 
There are two different types of LPA – one for property and financial affairs and one for health and welfare. We can help with both.

You can appoint one or more adults whom you trust, either together or separately, to make important decisions for you.  We can guide you through all your options and help you to complete and register the official forms.
 
If you need to manage the affairs of someone who no longer has the capacity to make decisions themselves, we can help you with your application for deputyship.
