Lasting Power of Attorney in Southampton
For Southampton residents, having a Lasting Power of Attorney in place is one of the most important steps you can take. If illness or injury left you unable to manage your own affairs, an LPA ensures someone you trust can step in — without the delays and costs of the Court of Protection.
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.
