In the complex world of legal proceedings, having a trusted and knowledgeable expert witness by your side can make all the difference.
Lasting power of attorney – health and finance
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows an individual (the Donor) to appoint a trusted person/people (Attorney) to make decisions regarding Health and Welfare or Property and Finance on behalf of the Donor.
Capacity to revoke Lasting Power of Attorney
There are some circumstances where the individual (Donor) wishes to withdraw their Lasting Power of Attorney. You can ask the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) to remove an Attorney if your Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is registered and you still have the mental capacity to do so.
Health and
welfare
decisions
The Mental Capacity Act (2005) provides guidance for assessing an individual’s capacity to make decisions. For any assessments required regarding health and welfare decisions, our team can formally assess and where appropriate undertake best interest assessments.
Certificate provider
The certificate provider is an independent person who can certify you are making the Lasting Power of Attorney of your own free will and that you have the mental capacity to do so.
