THERE ARE TWO
TYPES OF LPAS

LPA PROTECT strongly believe that the costs are fair and are at a level that most people in the vast majority of cases will be able to afford.
Health and Welfare LPA
The Health and Welfare LPA covers your Medical and Welfare arrangements. It does not give your Attorneys permission to make decisions for you on your behalf unless you lose mental capacity. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 is designed to protect and empower people who may lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions about their care and treatment including those with dementia, a brain injury, mental health illness or a stroke.

Financial and Property LPA

The Financial and Property LPA deals with aspects such as your banking, investments, property and household bills. Unlike the Health and Welfare LPA which is only triggered when a Donor loses mental capacity, the Financial and Property LPA can be used and acted upon as soon as you wish. You can retain full control over all your affairs, but you also have the flexibility to start withdrawing from your decisions and actions over time.

Without an LPA it could be very difficult for your family to inherit wealth, even if properties and bank accounts are jointly owned.

Jack CowellTrustpilot
LPA we’re my On The Choice because I got a good response from the company and in particular our assigned council James Grant. The three I had spoken with were knowledgable but James was that little bit more knowledgable and took me right through it and “The Price Fitted”get your prices for doing an LPA they vary tremendously. In my Opinion-I got the Best Information-The Best Communication and It’s all now Registered with The Guardians . Thank you LPA & The Team. John

How it works

We have ensured that our process is as streamlined as possible.
ENQUIRE NOW

Step 1

Organise a meeting online or phone. We will provide factual information on the format of an LPA. You will take sole responsibility for the choice of your Attorney(s) and their subsequent actions under the LPA.

Step 2

We will complete an order form with you for the details of the Donor, Attorney(s), Certificate Provider, Witness(s) and People to Notify (if applicable) so we can prepare the LPA

Step 3

Once the order has been completed, we will send the prepared LPAs to you. The LPAs need to be signed by the Donor, Attorney(s), and Certificate Provider (somebody you have known well for at least 2 years) in the presence of a Witness who also signs.

Many people think that if they were to lose mental capacity due to an illness or accident, their partner/spouse could simply take over all their property, financial affairs and healthcare decisions. Without an LPA this cannot happen. The Mental Health Capacity Act is designed to protect people who have lost the capacity to make decisions for themselves. Without an LPA it could be very difficult for your family even if property and bank accounts are jointly owned. In many cases an application to the Court of Protection to become a deputy is required. This gives similar powers to that of an Attorney. But it’s a time-consuming and expensive process.

FAQs

Simply put … Before it’s too late. Before illness strikes. Before mental capacity deteriorates. Once capacity has been lost, you are no longer allowed to appoint an Attorney. This could leave you with no one able to pay your bills and make crucial decisions about your care and medical treatment. A Financial LPA will allow an appointed Attorney access to a person’s funds to sort out financial affairs. A Health and Welfare LPA allows a relative full control over care and medical options if you lose mental capacity.
Sadly, they cannot, and this is a common misunderstanding. Without an LPA (or Enduring Power of Attorney), financial companies and home service providers will not allow access to information if the owner has lost capacity. Even in the case of joint assets, some institutions will limit or possibly deny access. In addition, if other organisations such as utility and insurance companies only have your details and you lose the ability to act, your partner could be prevented from dealing with these companies. Having an LPA gives your Attorney(s) total legal authority to deal with your affairs and avoid these difficult, upsetting situations. Attorneys must be over the age of 18, mentally capable, free of bankruptcy or a debt relief order (if applying for the financial and property LPA). You may wish to choose one or more Attorneys. Often people will choose a partner, children or a close friend. You may wish to consider whether you are comfortable that their actions will reflect your wishes and how they manage their own finances. You need to think very carefully about the person(s) you can trust to act in your best interest, making sure no relatives who should be included are left out to reduce the risk of family disputes. If you require legal advice on any of these matters you would need to obtain and rely solely on the advice of a solicitor of your choice. LPA Protect cannot give legal advice.
You can choose to have one or more attorneys. They can either act on their own with the power to make decisions singularly, (Jointly and Severally). Or if all decisions are to be made together, (Jointly). You would then need to consider if it is feasible for your attorneys to be present to agree on every action taken. Most people select jointly and severally which could allow attorneys to work together or separately to serve your best interests. On a Jointly and Severally LPA, it is also possible to stipulate some actions that you would prefer to operate on a jointly basis. For example, selling your property.
Yes, you may include guidance or instructions in both types of LPAs, (Financial/Property and Health/Welfare). The instructions must be followed by the Attorneys; however, guidance is not binding on them.

This is a commonly asked question. Conversations with family members about possible declining health or loss of capacity can be hard, but the following suggestions may help:

  • Let your family know beforehand what you would like to discuss and find a place where you will not be disturbed or rushed.
  • It isn’t always necessary to discuss everything in one conversation. There are likely to be other things to think about and go back to later.
  • Make some notes ahead so you can cover all the main points.
    Be honest and talk about all your feelings, not just the positive ones and don’t be embarrassed if anyone gets emotional. It’s bound to happen.

Quite often it is not too late, and this will depend on how progressed the dementia is. In its earlier stages, capacity is unlikely to have been lost. The Mental Health Act 2005 defines capacity as the ability to:

  • Understand the information that is relevant to a decision
  • Retain the information long enough to make a decision
  • Use or weigh up the information in order to make a decision
  • Communicate their decision by any possible means, including talking, sign language or simple muscle movements such as blinking an eye or squeezing a hand.

If you have any concerns regarding your mental capacity or the mental capacity of a relative, please obtain further advice from a medical practitioner or a Solicitor of your choice.
