Buckinghamshire Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitor

Why Choose Marley Solicitors for Your Lasting Power of Attorney?

Planning for the future can feel daunting, especially when it involves decisions about who will manage your affairs if you’re unable to. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint trusted individuals to make decisions about your finances or health on your behalf. Marley Solicitors is here to guide Buckinghamshire residents through this process with expertise and compassion, ensuring your LPA reflects your wishes.

Our experienced team provides clear, tailored advice, making the process straightforward and stress-free. We understand the unique needs of Buckinghamshire residents, from homeowners in Wendover to retirees in Chalfont St Giles, and we’re committed to giving you peace of mind.

What is a lasting power of attorney?

An LPA is a legal document that lets you choose someone (your attorney) to make decisions for you if you lose mental capacity or can’t act independently. There are two types:

• Property and financial affairs LPA: Covers decisions about your money, property, and bills.
• Health and welfare LPA: Covers decisions about your medical care, living arrangements, and daily wellbeing.

In Buckinghamshire, approximately 10,000 LPAs are registered annually, yet 75% of adults over 55 in the county still lack one, according to local government estimates. With an ageing population and rising dementia cases (projected to reach 1.6 million UK-wide by 2040), securing an LPA is more important than ever. Marley Solicitors helps Buckinghamshire residents avoid the costly and complex Court of Protection process by ensuring your LPA is properly set up.
