Powers of attorney

Powers of attorney allow someone else to manage affairs on your behalf should you become unable. Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPAs) and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) allow you to pass on the power to another person in the case of mental illness. If no power of attorney is appointed, each person must make an application to the Court of Protection if they choose to manage affairs on your behalf. Our professionals can help set up powers of attorney and make sense of Court of Protection applications.
