PUTTING LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY IN PLACE 

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you (the ‘donor’) appoint one or more people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.

This gives you more control over what happens to you if you have an accident or an illness and can’t make your own decisions (you ‘lack mental capacity’).

There are 2 types of LPA:
• health and welfare
• property and financial affairs

You can choose to make one type or both for more information and advice please call

PROBATE: HOW WE CAN HELP YOU?

If someone dies and leaves a will, then a grant of probate will be required to deal with his or her assets. If no will has been made, then a grant of letters of administration will be required. At such a difficult time, we can assist you in obtaining such a grant, by gathering details of all the assets and liabilities, reporting to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), and settling any inheritance tax liability. Once the grant has been issued, we will arrange a settlement of liabilities, distribution to the beneficiaries, and provide estate accounts for the executors and beneficiaries.
