LPAs allow you to express wishes about how your finances and personal welfare should be managed. LPAs can be used, with your consent, by your chosen attorney to do things that are inconvenient for you to do yourself such as during absence abroad even though you have full capacity. They can also be used as a key part of your future planning should you be unable to make decisions for yourself in years  to come. Ensuring LPAs are registered properly is very important. Our specialist solicitors have experience in high-value estate planning and can ensure your LPA is setup appropriately in conjunction with your will. [Contact us](https://www.davernpartners.co.uk/contact-us?hsLang=en)   If you don't have an LPA in place, situations may occur that make handling your affairs complicated and expensive: - If you are unable to make decisions about your health and welfare, a healthcare professional may have to make decisions about your case. - Your family may have to apply through the court of protection for the appointment of a deputy to manage your affairs. The delay inherent in this process may in some circumstances lead to financial hardship. - An LPA ensures that your affairs are handled by trusted individuals selected by you. This gives peace of time and is also saving of time and costs. Contact us to see how we can advise and how much our solicitors charge for drafting lasting powers of attorney and ensuring that they are appropriately witnessed, registered, and activated.  *Raymond and Sabir have been incredibly helpful in providing me with advice on a tax and estate planning matter. Having both tax and legal advice available in one team meant my case was dealt with quickly with seamless handover between the two areas of expertise. This combined service was a huge benefit — what a relief to not have to relay information between specialists. In all my interactions, I have found the team to be highly knowledgeable and excellent at customer communication. I would highly recommend them.* Client, Tax & Estate Planning Matter # Get in touch To take the next step, simply drop us an email or give us a call and we'll be delighted to understand how we will be able to help.
