Lasting Power of Attorney in Brockenhurst

For Brockenhurst residents, an LPA is particularly important. In a rural area where services may be further away, having someone authorised to act on your behalf ensures your affairs can be managed promptly if you become unwell.

About Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint one or more people you trust to make decisions on your behalf should you lose the capacity to make them yourself — whether through illness, injury, or age. There are two types: one covering your property and financial affairs, and another covering your health and welfare decisions. Without an LPA in place, your family would need to apply to the Court of Protection to manage your affairs — a process that is stressful, expensive, and can take many months. At Barrett-Smith & Doulton, we guide you through the entire LPA process, from choosing your attorneys to registering the documents with the Office of the Public Guardian.

Frequently Asked Questions

It can be — managing affairs from a rural location can be more challenging, and having someone already authorised to act makes everything smoother. It is particularly important if you rely on local services that need someone to communicate on your behalf.
Yes — your attorney does not need to live locally. Many clients choose adult children who may live elsewhere. Modern banking and communication make distance less of an issue.
This is one of the strongest reasons to have an LPA in place. Without one, there may be no one who can quickly step in to manage your affairs if something happens unexpectedly.
