Lasting power of attorney

Many of us like to plan ahead in case there comes a time when we need help making important decisions – for example due to illness, injury, or a loss of mental capacity. An LPA lets you choose someone you trust to step in if needed, helping ensure things are handled smoothly and in your best interests.

There are two types of LPA:

1. Financial LPA – covers decisions about your home and how your money is managed

2. Health and Welfare LPA – covers decisions about your health, lifestyle and medical treatment

Farewill can guide you through putting both your Financial LPA and Health and Welfare LPA in place – explaining everything clearly and helping you avoid common mistakes.

• Talk through your decisions with a specialist

• Your Financial LPA and Health and Welfare LPA prepared together

• Clear step-by-step signing guidance

• Optional check before you send your forms off

This means you stay in control — with support at each step.

• Financial decisions – manage money, bills, pensions, savings and property

• Health and welfare decisions – make decisions about care, treatment and where you live

• Peace of mind – choose people you trust to step in if needed.

If you’d like a clearer picture of how LPAs work including choosing attorneys and what to include – you can read our guide.

If you didn’t have an LPA, and someone needed to step in, they would usually need to apply to the Court of Protection – a process that can take months, sometimes over a year, and cost over £1,000.

Some people choose to use a solicitor, which can cost significantly more. With Farewill, you get the reassurance of guidance from a specialist, with simple and transparent pricing.

• There is also a £92 government fee per LPA to register your documents with the Office of the Public Guardian (£184 total per person for both documents)
