For many, it might feel that giving away the power of attorney translates to handing over all the power, influence, and assets you have to someone else. This idea is understandably a scary thought and therefore it is a suggestion that clients often receive with a fair amount of resistance. Yet, having a lasting power of attorney in place is nothing like that at all according to the lasting power of attorney lawyers at Grant Saw Solicitors.

“There are two different kinds of lasting power of attorney available. The focal point of the one option is purely the health and welfare of their client. Here you allow your attorney to make decisions on your behalf regarding your medical condition. You give your attorney the power to determine what type of care you would need when you are no longer in a state to make these choices for yourself. The second has a stronger influence on your financial affairs and your assets such as property. In the latter, the paperwork gives the one who has the power of attorney the right to make decisions regarding your financial affairs that will benefit you and your loved ones,” says Ray Crudgington, Managing Partner at Grant Saw Solicitors.

He also states that in both cases, the power of attorney only becomes valid once their client is incapacitated or for any reason no longer able to make decisions regarding their health, care, or finances themselves. Furthermore, Ray also highlights that it is possible to make use of both options and it is something that you can discuss with their legal experts when you are busy with your estate planning.

Once their clients have clarity on what type of power of attorney they would need, the team will schedule a meeting to discuss the finer details regarding such a decision, what the benefits are, and they will answer any questions the client might have. This is only one of the many trusted services you can reach out for towards the reputable team of legal professionals with such a long history in the UK.

It is the type of legal service that they offer at a fixed fee. They will complete the necessary paperwork on your behalf and once they have lodged it at The Office of the Public Guardian, there is a short waiting period of three weeks, before the office will send out the necessary notification to all affected by the process, but the total duration of the application process is roughly around 10-12 weeks.
