Can my attorneys act straight away?

A property and financial affairs LPA can be used once registered, with your permission, even while you have capacity. A health and welfare LPA can only be used when you lack capacity.

How long does registration take?

Registration with the Office of the Public Guardian usually takes several weeks, so it is wise not to leave it until it is urgently needed.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Choose who makes decisions for you if you cannot make them yourself.

A lasting power of attorney lets you choose trusted people to handle your finances or make health and care decisions if you lose mental capacity. Without one, your family may need to apply to the Court of Protection, which is slower and more expensive. We prepare LPAs, act as certificate provider and register them for you.
