Pothecary Witham Weld Solicitors

Everyone, young or old, should consider having an Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA).

Having an LPA means that in the event of physical or mental incapacity:

• YOU name the person you trust to deal with all your property and finances (your Attorney)
• YOU decide who should have responsibility to deal with your finances
• YOU decide when the document comes into effect by providing specific safeguards
• YOU can ensure that special instructions are included in the document
• YOU can restrict your Attorney's authority
• YOU decide if your Attorneys should act jointly or jointly and severally
• YOUR affairs can be dealt with without delay and with minimal expense

An LPA must be made whilst a person has full mental capacity. In the event that an LPA cannot be made there is an alternative known as 'Receivership'.

We offer the services of solicitors as attorneys where professional management of a client's affairs is desired. We also look after the affairs of patients under the Mental Health Act and handle any necessary dealings with the Court of Protection including Receivership accounts.
