Making an LPA is as easy as
1
Book Your Appointment
You can complete the Request a Call Back form or call us to schedule an Online LPA appointment with your estate planner on a time and day which suits you.
You will then receive a booking confirmation email, outlining the appointment time and date, a process overview and your Instructions Preparation Guide.
2
Approve Your LPAs
Once you have provided us with all the necessary information, we will produce an initial draft version of your LPAs for you to review.
You can then inform us of any changes you wish to make or confirm you are happy with its contents.
3
Sign and Register Your LPAs
Once you have your printed LPAs, you need to sign them in front of a witness who will also need to sign them.
You will also need your attorneys, replacement attorneys and certificate provider to sign the LPAs.
You then need to send your signed LPAs to the Office of the Public Guardian for it to be valid and effective.
What LPAs are available?
Health & Welfare LPA
Empowers your attorney to make, or assist with, decisions on vital aspects, such as medical treatment, life-sustaining treatment and living arrangements.
Property & Financial Affairs LPA
Grants someone authority to handle decisions concerning property transactions, financial accounts, welfare benefits, and tax credits on your behalf.
Why choose A.D.E Wills
Am I protected?
LPAs are governed by the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
Your attorneys must act in your best interest at all times. They must assume you can make your own decisions unless it is established that you cannot do so.
They must help you make as many of your own decisions and take all practical steps to help you make these decisions.
Your attorneys must not treat you as unable to make a decision simply because you make an unwise one.

Key people involved
The person making the LPA and giving the decision-making power, is the ‘donor’.
The people to whom the donor is giving the decision-making powers are the ‘attorneys’.
The Certificate Provider is someone signing to confirm that the donor understands what an LPA is and not being forced to make it.
The Certificate Provider is a professional (such as a lawyer, your GP or a healthcare professional) or someone who has known you personally for at least 2 years (such as a friend, neighbour or colleague).

Who needs to sign my LPA?
To be legally valid, the LPA must be signed in a specific order.
Essentially, the donor must first sign the LPA, followed by the certificate provider, and then the attorneys and replacement attorneys. All of these signatures can occur on the same day.
If the donor is the LPA applicant, then they will also need to sign again at the very end.

The LPA cannot be used until it is registered.

An ordinary power of attorney covers decisions about your financial affairs and is valid while you have mental capacity.
It is helpful if you need cover for a temporary period (such as a hospital stay or holiday) or if you find it hard to get outside.
Are you self-employed as a sole trader, director or partner?
