Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) let someone appoint trusted people to make decisions for them if they lose capacity. There are two kinds: a Property and Financial Affairs LPA and a Health and Welfare LPA. A solicitor drafts the documents, guides choices of attorneys, and ensures capacity and suitability. They handle registration with the Office of the Public Guardian, advise on safeguarding finances or medical decisions, and can amend or replace attorneys as needed.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

LPAs are regulated and carry professional safeguards. A solicitor ensures the documents are valid, explains duties and limits of attorneys, helps with capacity assessments, and coordinates registration with the Office of the Public Guardian and any relevant authorities. This reduces the risk of misinterpretation or disputes later and provides accountability through regulatory oversight.
