Power of attorney Solicitors

Power of attorney is a legal instrument that enables you to designate someone to act on your behalf. In the UK, there are two main types: a general power of attorney and a lasting power of attorney (LPA). A general power of attorney allows someone to manage your affairs while you have capacity, but it ceases if you lose it. By contrast, an LPA remains effective even after you lose mental capacity, covering either financial decisions or health and welfare matters—and must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. The legal professionals featured below are experts in drafting, reviewing, and advising on both types to ensure your interests are fully protected.

What does power of attorney involve in the UK?

  • General Power of Attorney: A document authorising someone to act on your behalf for financial or legal matters, effective only while you retain mental capacity.
  • Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): A specialised power of attorney that continues to operate if you lose capacity, covering either property and financial affairs or health and welfare decisions. LPAs must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.
  • Choosing the right type: Depending on your needs, you may opt for a general power of attorney for short-term decisions or an LPA for long-term planning and safeguarding your future interests.
  • Key differences: The main difference is that while a general power of attorney ends when you lose capacity, an LPA is designed to remain in effect, ensuring continuity in decision-making.

How can a solicitor help with power of attorney matters, and what does it cost?

A power of attorney solicitor can:

  • Advise on your needs: Helping you decide whether a general power of attorney or an LPA best suits your circumstances.
  • Draft and review documents: Preparing a legally sound document that accurately reflects your wishes and complies with all statutory requirements.
  • Assist with registration: Managing the registration process for an LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian, ensuring it is valid when required.
  • Provide ongoing guidance: Advising on updates or changes as your circumstances evolve, ensuring your power of attorney remains current.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of your requirements and the solicitor’s expertise. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £300, while many firms also offer fixed-fee packages for drafting and registering these documents. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—can help you understand your options, obtain a cost estimate, and determine the best approach to protect your interests.
