Begin Your LPA Journey — Simply and Clearly.

Clear support to help you take the next step with confidence.

Why LPA Matters?

Without an LPA, your family may need court approval to act — even for everyday decisions.

An LPA isn’t just a legal document; it’s a safety net that ensures your wishes are respected and your loved ones are spared from difficult decisions and legal complexities during stressful times. By planning ahead, you keep control.

Stay in Control

Appoint people you trust to make decisions on your behalf, ensuring your choices are always aligned with your values and preferences.

Prevent Family Stress

Without an LPA, your family may face lengthy and expensive court processes to manage your affairs. An LPA provides clarity and peace of mind when it's needed most.

Avoid Court Delays

Putting an LPA in place helps avoid court applications and unnecessary delays, allowing important decisions to be made quickly when timing matters most.

Two Types of LPA to Protect Your Future

They cover different aspects of your life, giving you comprehensive protection.

Property & Financial Affairs

This covers decisions about your money and property, including managing bank accounts, paying bills, collecting benefits, and selling your home. It can be used as soon as it's registered (with your permission).

Health & Welfare

This covers decisions about your healthcare and personal welfare, such as where you live, your medical treatment, and your day-to-day care. It can only be used when you are unable to make your own decisions.

Most people need both for full protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions, Clear Answers

Setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re unsure where to start, how long it takes, or whether you need professional help. Below are answers to the questions people most commonly ask before taking the next step, explained clearly and without legal jargon.

Do I lose control after making an LPA?

No. Making an LPA does not mean you immediately give up control. A Property and
Financial Affairs LPA can only be used with your permission while you have capacity. A
Health and Welfare LPA can only be used if you lose mental capacity.

Once submitted, the Office of the Public Guardian typically takes 12–20 weeks to register an LPA. Delays often occur due to errors or missing information. Our guidance focuses on helping you prepare everything correctly from the outset to avoid common mistakes that can slow the process down.
There are two types because they cover different areas of your life:
• Property & Financial Affairs LPA – allows your attorney to manage money, banking, bills, and property.
• Health & Welfare LPA – covers medical treatment, care decisions, and day-to-day wellbeing. Many people choose to have both, but you can set up one or the other depending on your needs.

Yes. As long as you still have mental capacity, you can change your attorneys, update your instructions, or cancel your LPA entirely.
An LPA is flexible and remains under your control while you are able to make decisions yourself.
