Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney
and Court of Protection

Making a Will allows you to ensure that your assets are passed on after your death as you choose. It can also prevent your beneficiaries from paying unnecessary taxes and you can deal with other important factors such as guardianship for minors, payment of debts and funeral expenses amongst others.

We can provide Will writing services tailored to suit your wishes. Our lawyers can advise you of the options you have available to you giving you sensible and practical advice. Making a Will enables you to have peace of mind that your wishes will be followed upon your death.

We can also provide advice on Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) which came into force on 1st October 2007 and replaced the Enduring Power of Attorney.

The LPA is a legal document that allows you (the Donor) to appoint a specified person (the Attorney) to deal with your property and affairs or personal welfare on your behalf.

You may wish to have an LPA drawn up because you want to allow somebody you trust to make decisions on your behalf when you are no longer able to do so for yourself for whatever reason or if you lack the mental capacity to make such decisions.

The LPA can be drawn up at any time while you have capacity, but has no legal standing until it is registered with the Office of the Public Guardian and you can cancel it if you have necessary capacity.

We can offer fixed fee agreements for carrying out the above services. Please click here for our enquiry form.
