LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY – TAILORED SOLUTIONS, PALMERS GREEN
Expert advice on LPAs. Compassionate and practical guidance on powers of attorney. Allan Jay Paine Ltd, Palmers Green, is trusted by North London clients.
UNDERSTANDING LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY (LPA)
Lasting Powers of Attorney enable you to appoint trusted people to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity. There are two main types: Property and Financial Affairs LPAs, which cover managing your money, property, and financial matters; and Health and Welfare LPAs, which authorise decisions about your medical treatment and daily care. Our team assists clients in choosing the right type of LPA and tailoring the powers granted, including any restrictions and guidance you wish to impose. To begin the process or discuss your requirements, please get in touch with our team, who will guide you through the options.
PREPARING AND REGISTERING LPAS
The preparation of an LPA involves careful completion of the required documentation, ensuring all legal and procedural requirements are met. We offer expert assistance in drafting the forms, advising on the role and responsibilities of attorneys, and providing comprehensive checks to avoid errors that could lead to delays. We also coordinate the registration of the LPAs with the Office of the Public Guardian, ensuring the documents are legally valid and available for use when needed. This includes liaising with the Public Guardian's office and managing any queries or issues that arise during registration.
COURT OF PROTECTION SERVICES
Where no LPA is in place or when complex issues arise, applications to the Court of Protection become necessary. Our solicitors provide thorough guidance through the Court of Protection process, assisting with applications for deputyship to manage property, financial affairs, or health and welfare decisions. We represent individuals involved in disputes or complex cases, ensuring their interests are protected. Our services cover the preparation of all necessary paperwork, liaising with the court, and offering ongoing support throughout the deputyship.
BENEFITS AND IMPORTANCE OF ESTABLISHING POWERS OF ATTORNEY
Establishing a Power of Attorney safeguards your interests, ensuring trusted individuals can make decisions promptly if you lose capacity. It minimises delays and complications often associated with court applications and offers peace of mind for you and your family. Effective Powers of Attorney also help avoid potential disagreements and legal challenges by clearly defining who will act on your behalf and the scope of their authority. We tailor each Power of Attorney to your personal circumstances, ensuring clarity for attorneys and protecting your rights.
Fantastic service from start to finish.
Allen Jay Paine were recommended to us by our estate agent and they didn't disappoint. They made it easy from initial instruction, their communication was second to none, and both our sale and purchase were a breeze!
I'm an ex-mortgage broker and I've seen hundreds of conveyancing solicitors in my time. Mandy Bird is the best I've come across, and it was an absolute pleasure dealing with her and her team at Allan Jay Paine.
Would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
