Lasting Power of Attorney

[Sue]

Can anybody who has made a Lasting Power of Attorney offer any advice, eg anything I need to be particularly aware of?

Do I need a solicitor or is that not really necessary?

If I do, can anybody recommend a local solicitor who they have used for this purpose?

Thanks.

You do not need a solicitor. You can download all the documentation from the website. There are two types of LPA one regarding health matters and the other for financial affairs. The information is fairly easy to understand.

Important to follow the guidance precisely. Each one will cost £82.00 and will take about twenty weeks to become registered.

Hope this helps.

OK, thanks, I must admit I hadn't looked at the website very closely yet!
