What we help with
Lasting Powers of Attorney for property & finances and health & welfare, drafted and registered. Below is a working list — your situation may fit one or more. If you're not sure, ask. Initial conversations are confidential and rarely take more than a few minutes to clarify whether we're the right fit.

What's not included (usually)
How the process usually runs
- Step 1. Discuss your wishes and who you want to act as attorney

- Step 3. Register the LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian

Indicative fees
Fees for power of attorney matters are quoted after an initial review. Per LPA. Both LPAs from £280. Office of the Public Guardian registration fee payable separately. You'll always get a written quote before any work starts.
Where the scope is genuinely unpredictable (contested disputes, complex cases, multi-party negotiations) we'll quote an hourly rate or capped estimate and stick to it.
