Lasting Power Of Attorney Services

Helping you plan ahead with confidence by putting the right protections in place for the future.

Prepare For The Unexpected With Peace Of Mind

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make important decisions on your behalf if you are ever unable to make them yourself.

At Savigny Consulting, we provide calm, supportive guidance to help you understand your options and put the right arrangements in place with confidence. Our aim is to make the process feel clear, straightforward and fully supported from start to finish.

What Is A Lasting Power Of Attorney?

An LPA is a legal document that gives a trusted person, such as a family member or close friend, the authority to make decisions on your behalf should you lose the ability to do so yourself.

This helps ensure the people who know you best are able to support your wishes and act in your best interests if needed in the future.

LPAs are completed, signed and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before they can be used.

Two Types Of Lasting Power Of Attorney

There are two separate types of LPA, and many people choose to have both in place for complete peace of mind.

Health & Welfare LPA

Allows someone you trust to make decisions about your care, wellbeing, medical treatment and day to day welfare if you are unable to make those decisions yourself.

Property & Financial Affairs LPA

Allows your chosen person to manage matters such as finances, bills, pensions, bank accounts and property decisions on your behalf.

Plan Ahead Before It’s Needed

Life can change unexpectedly through illness, injury or conditions such as dementia. Having an LPA already in place means your wishes can still be respected, while helping reduce stress and uncertainty for your loved ones.

Without an LPA, family members may need to apply through the courts for permission to make decisions on your behalf. This can be a lengthy, expensive and emotionally difficult process during an already challenging time.

Putting an LPA in place now helps ensure everything is prepared should it ever be needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I Set Up An LPA?

It is best to arrange an LPA while you are still able to make decisions independently, before it may ever be needed.

Can Family Automatically Make Decisions For Me?

No. Without an LPA, loved ones may need legal permission through the courts to act on your behalf.

Do I Need Both Types Of LPA?

Many people choose both for complete peace of mind, as they cover different areas of decision making.

When Can An LPA Be Used?

A Property & Financial Affairs LPA can sometimes be used with your permission while you still have capacity. A Health & Welfare LPA is only used if you lose capacity to make decisions yourself.

The Benefits Of A Lasting Power Of Attorney

  • Decide who will make important decisions on your behalf if needed.
  • Help ensure decisions about your care, finances and wellbeing reflect your personal wishes.
  • Make things clearer and easier for family members during difficult situations.
  • Help avoid the need for lengthy court applications if decisions need to be made.
  • Feel reassured knowing plans are already in place for the future.

Why Many People Delay Setting Up An LPA

It is common for people to assume a Lasting Power of Attorney is something that can wait until later in life. However, unexpected illness, injury or changes in health can happen at any time.

Putting an LPA in place early allows you to make important decisions calmly and carefully, rather than leaving loved ones to deal with uncertainty during difficult circumstances.

At Savigny Consulting, we help make the process feel simple, supportive and easy to understand, giving you reassurance that trusted people are legally able to act on your behalf if ever needed in the future.
