Lasting Power of Attorney in Milford on Sea

In a close-knit community like Milford on Sea, looking after each other is second nature. An LPA formalises that care, ensuring someone you trust has the legal authority to manage your affairs if you can no longer do so.

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

You can choose to have just one type of LPA, but we recommend both. A Property & Financial Affairs LPA covers your money and property, while a Health & Welfare LPA covers your care and medical decisions.
A Property & Financial Affairs LPA can be used as soon as it is registered (with your permission). A Health & Welfare LPA can only be used when you lack the capacity to make decisions yourself.
You can revoke (cancel) your LPA at any time, as long as you have mental capacity. We can help you set up a new LPA with different attorneys if needed.
