A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is one of the most important legal documents you can put in place. It gives someone you trust the legal authority to decide on your behalf if you lose the ability to do so — whether due to illness, injury or old age.
At Convey Us Legal, we help individuals and families across Birmingham and the West Midlands set up LPAs with clarity and confidence. Whether you need help with Property and Financial Affairs or Health and Welfare, our experienced team is here to make the process stress-free and straightforward.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
An LPA is a legal document that allows you (the Donor) to appoint one or more trusted people (Attorneys) to act on your behalf if you cannot make decisions yourself.
There are two types of LPA:
- Property and Financial Affairs LPA
Let’s have your attorneys manage your bank accounts, bills, property, and financial matters. - Health and Welfare LPA
Allows your attorneys to make decisions about medical care, daily routines, and life-sustaining treatment — but only if you lose capacity.
Why Set Up an LPA?
- Stay in control by choosing who manages your affairs
- Avoid court delays and costly Deputyship applications
