🧠 Basic Lasting Powers of Attorney Online
Protect your future decisions with clear, guided support
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) lets you choose who can make decisions for you if, one day, you are unable to decide for yourself.
With Clarke & Wright, you can set up your Basic LPAs online using a simple, guided process, backed by experienced professionals.
ℹ️ What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
An LPA is a legal document that gives someone you trust authority to act on your behalf if you lose the ability to manage your own affairs.
There are two main types of LPA in England and Wales:
-
💷 Property and Financial Affairs
Allows your chosen attorneys to deal with money, bills, savings, property and everyday financial matters. -
❤️ Health and Welfare
Allows your attorneys to make decisions about care, living arrangements and medical treatment if you cannot decide for yourself.
Putting LPAs in place now means that, if something unexpected happens later, the people you choose can step in quickly and lawfully.
🚨 Why LPAs matter in real life
LPAs are not only for later life. They can be vital at any stage if capacity is affected by illness or accident.
-
🧩 Dementia or gradual memory loss
With an LPA in place, a trusted person can manage money and care plans early.
Without one, relatives may face long court applications before they can help. -
🚗 Sudden accident or injury
With an LPA, attorneys can deal with bills and speak to medical teams straightaway.
Without one, accounts can be frozen and important decisions may be delayed. -
🏥 Serious health crisis
With an LPA, your wishes about treatment and care are clearly recorded.
Without one, doctors and social services may have to decide without clear guidance. -
🧠 Loss of mental capacity
With an LPA, the people you chose can act promptly.
Without one, loved ones usually need a court order, which is slower and more expensive.
