One day, it might not be possible for you to manage your own financial or welfare matters, without the help of a trusted individual or family member. A Lasting Power of Attorney is the legal document that allows you to choose one person or multiple people to make decisions for you while you are alive, in the case that you are no longer able to make such decisions for yourself. If you do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney, then it means that no one has the legal power to take care of decisions for you; in cases such as these, family often have to go through lengthy and expensive legal processes.
At RRK Legal, we specialise in the creation of Lasting Powers of Attorney, helping you to make the best decision and plan for your unique circumstances. We’ll ensure that all legal documents are drafted correctly with the relevant instructions, leaving you free to focus on the present without worry.
An LPA must be assigned while you are still able to make decisions for yourself, and cannot be put into place when you are no longer capable of doing so. Therefore, it is important to get it done sooner rather than later. If you’re ready to start planning for the future, get in touch with the RRK Legal team today.
Whether you are a private client or run your own business, three different types of LPA exist to give you the best possible protection. We typically recommend a combination of LPAs to protect your decisions from every angle, advising you on every aspect of making Lasting Powers of Attorney whatever your situation.
A Property & Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney takes care of your finances, property, money and assets. The attorney you choose will pay your bills and sort out your income when you are not able to. This type of LPA is an effective way to minimise family arguments over who will be responsible for your finances - and they are also flexible, meaning that you can choose how much or little responsibility they will have.
A Health & Welfare LPA means you can decide who makes decisions regarding your future care and living situation. This only comes into play when you are no longer able to make your own decisions - upon mental or physical incapacitation. Your trusted appointed attorney will be able to decide things like where you will live, what kinds of medical care you will receive, and if you will receive life-saving treatment.
If you own a business, you must consider what would happen to it if you were not able to make decisions anymore. An LPA for business means that if something happened to you, someone would already be appointed to authorise payments, sign cheques, take loans or pay salaries. If you do not get an LPA then deciding who makes these decisions can take a long time and this can be harmful to your business and income.
We have a dedicated team of professionals here at RRK Legal who are entirely focused on helping you create a Lasting Power of Attorney that works for you and your situation. It can be daunting to think about choosing an attorney and deciding which kind of LPA will suit your needs the best, which is why we are here to make the process as straightforward as possible.
The service we provide will help you with the entire process including registering the documentation correctly. We aim to make it as smooth and as easy on you as possible, meaning that we try to leave the legal jargon out of it and focus on what your needs are and how we can best accommodate them.
We offer a very reasonable fixed rate for this service, so you will know exactly how much it will be and can budget accordingly. Furthermore, we are able to offer a discount if multiple Lasting Powers of Attorney are required, or if you make an LPA at the same time as writing your will with RRK.
