What is a Lasting Power of Attorney, and why does it matter?

An LPA allows someone you trust to make important decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so yourself.

There are two types: one covering property and financial matters, and another covering health and welfare. They can be made together or separately.

Putting an LPA in place can help safeguard your wishes and provide peace of mind for the future.

Find out more about LPAs and how Collins & Hoy Solicitors can help via our website.

Secure your future with a Lasting Power of Attorney. Collins & Hoy guide you through property, financial, and health LPAs for peace of mind.

The end of the year can be a good opportunity to take stock and make sure your legal arrangements still reflect your circumstances.

It could be worth reviewing your Will, considering whether a Lasting Power of Attorney is right for you, or getting advice about family arrangements that may need attention.

Or, if you’re planning to buy a property, starting the process early can also help avoid unnecessary pressure as Christmas approaches. And if you already have legal arrangements in place, a review can help make sure they’re still appropriate for your current circumstances.

A little planning now could mean one less thing to think about over the festive season. 🎄

If you’re unsure where to start, Collins & Hoy Solicitors can provide clear, practical advice across a range of family, private client and property matters.

💷 When was the last time you looked at your financial arrangements?

Financial planning isn’t just about making a Will. As circumstances change, it can be important to review how your estate is structured and whether the arrangements you have in place still reflect your wishes.

Estate planning, Lasting Powers of Attorney and regularly reviewing your existing arrangements can all form part of planning for the future.

At Collins & Hoy Solicitors, our Private Client team provides clear, considered advice tailored to your individual circumstances, helping you understand your options and put appropriate arrangements in place.

If it’s been a while since you last reviewed your affairs, it could be worth having a conversation. 👥
