Lasting Powers Of Attorney

“Discover How To Protect Yourself And Your Family Fully During Your lifetime…”

Lots of people take the prudent step of making a Will because they want to know that their affairs will be in order when they die.

But very few think about how they could organise their affairs if they became unable to look after them themselves during their own lifetime. However, this is more and more likely with ever increasing advances in medical care.

Harvey McKibbin Solicitors in Sutton Coldfield is able to help you!

We have seen increasing numbers of our clients who need us to produce a legal document called a LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY (LPA).

This enables us to help you appoint somebody you trust to look after your affairs in case of your mental and/or physical incapacity. As people age and get more infirm these questions become ever more important. However, they can also arise from an illness, a serious accident or even a bad trip or fall.

English Law states that you must make these arrangements when you are fit and healthy because if you are legally incapacitated you clearly cannot make a “competent” decision after the event. If you leave things then, just like the confusion and practical problems that come when there is no Will, your family can be faced with heartache, stress and great uncertainty.

Lasting Powers of Attorney can be made to cover your financial interests (a “Property & Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney”). You must also draw up a separate Lasting Power of Attorney to cover your “personal affairs” – such as medical care issues. This is a “Personal Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney”.

When you have made these Lasting Powers of Attorney you can rest easy because you know your financial affairs will be taken care of. And because you can also banish thoughts of your loved ones having to argue over heart-rending decisions about accepting or refusing medical treatments on your behalf.

Using Harvey McKibbin Solicitors for your Lasting Power of Attorney means you can get all the guidance you need from experts in the law. Unlike using a Will-writer to draw the document up, using us means we provide the necessary Independent Mental Capacity Certificate (which confirms you are of “sound mind” when you make the Lasting Power of Attorney) FREE OF CHARGE.

Just like a Will, a Lasting Power of Attorney should be kept under review so it can be updated if your circumstances should change. Of course using Harvey McKibbin Solicitors means this is all taken care of for you too.

*NB Lasting Powers of Attorney come into effect on 1^st October 2007 and supersede the previous “Enduring Power of Attorney” documentation*
