Our process is well proven over many years. We usually visit you twice at convenient times and take your instructions in line with your circumstances and wishes; then returning with your documents drafted as agreed.
After signing and witnessing we then contact your attorneys, not present, and gain completion of their sections. This can be global at no extras cost.
Acting as your correspondent throughout the process, dealing directly with the registration body on your behalf, we finally return your registered documents safely.
AGE UK recommend clients to us, a main reason being that our objective is to ‘make this affordable for more people’, whilst as specialists (it’s all we do) you get our experience of working for thousands of clients.
SUMMARY ON LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY (LPA)
- Without both documents you might not receive the care you would like, and your monies and assets might not be controlled by the people you would prefer (family and/or trusted friends)
- Banks can and do ‘restrict/freeze’ bank accounts, even between spouses.
- We can be placed in care a long way from our ‘roots’ and families.
- Self-produced documents without professional advice can often lead to rejection at registration stage. There are many defaults and protocols that often need changing, and many legally drafted clauses to enable your attorneys to act as you would wish.
- Obtaining a Deputy order from the court is a last resort only if an LPA has not been registered. The court control is sometimes severe. Annual reapplication costs are levied. A security bond can be demanded; can be thousand of pounds.. It does not cover Health & Welfare matters.
