Why choose a solicitor

Get it right, so it works when it’s needed

An LPA only helps if it’s valid, correctly worded and properly registered. Mistakes can see it rejected by the Office of the Public Guardian, or leave your family unable to act when it matters most. Our solicitors handle it properly and sensitively, whether you’re planning ahead or supporting a relative who has already lost capacity.

Qualified & Regulated

Prepared by SRA-regulated solicitors, so your LPA is valid and accepted, not rejected on a technicality.

STEP & capacity experts

Members of STEP, experienced in mental capacity and estate planning, not a form-filling service.

Registered with the OPG

We draft and register your LPAs with the Office of the Public Guardian, handling the process end to end.

Court of Protection ready

If capacity has already been lost with no LPA in place, we can apply for Deputyship through the Court.

Common Questions

It’s a legal document that lets someone you trust make decisions on your behalf if you lose the capacity to make them yourself. There are two types: property & financial affairs, and health & welfare.
