Why now is the time to sort out an LPA 

 Making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is crucial to later life planning. It’s how you can allow someone to make decisions on your behalf about health, property and finance matters if you lose the ability to do so yourself.  

It must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) to take effect. The registration fee is going up from 17th November. Now is the time to get it sorted. 

The OPG won’t accept the LPA application if it isn’t accurately drafted, so getting an expert to support you with the process is key to preventing costly errors. It’s also how you can ensure that it suits your specific circumstances.
