🧾 Does Your LPA Need a Service?

Because planning for the future isn't just about your Will, when we think about protecting our future, most people turn straight to their Will. But what if something happens during your lifetime — like an accident, illness, or loss of capacity? That’s where Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) come in.

And just like your car needs a regular service to stay reliable, your LPAs should be checked too — to make sure they're still in good condition and ready for the road ahead.

🔧 What Is an LPA Service?

An LPA Service is a simple, professional review of your existing documents to make sure:

• Your chosen attorneys are still suitable
• Your wishes are up-to-date
• The forms have been properly registered
• You’re still protected if your circumstances change

It’s peace of mind that, should something go wrong, the right people can legally step in to help with your finances or health decisions — without delay or confusion.

"Your Will protects your wishes after death.   Your LPAs protect your life while you're still here.

✅ Everything’s Running Smoothly

If your LPAs are up-to-date, valid, and still match your wishes, that’s great — no work needed. Examples of a Pass:

• You still trust your chosen attorneys
• Everyone named is alive, well, and living in the UK
• You’ve included any preferences or instructions you feel strongly about
• The documents have already been registered with the Office of the Public Guardian

In this case, your LPAs are good to go — but we recommend checking again every few years or after a significant life change.

🟠 Minor Issues: Time for a Tune-Up

Sometimes things are still running, but could be smoother. Examples of an LPA Advisory:

• You’ve moved house and your address has changed
• One of your attorneys has moved abroad
• Your views on certain treatments or financial decisions have evolved
• You now have strong wishes you'd like added as guidance
• The LPAs were signed years ago, and you’re unsure if they’ve been registered

These aren’t urgent, but they’re worth addressing sooner rather than later — to avoid problems later on.

❌ Breakdown Warning: Time to Replace or Repair

Some changes mean your LPAs could fail when needed most. If that happens, your family might have to apply for a deputyship — a long, expensive and stressful process. Examples of an LPA Fail:

• One or more attorneys have died, lost capacity, or fallen out of touch
• You’ve changed your mind completely about who should act
• You created the LPAs but never registered them
• Your LPAs were drafted incorrectly (this happens more than you’d think)
• A replacement attorney is no longer available, and no backup was named

In these cases, we’ll help you put new documents in place and register them properly.

🛡️ Storage & Insurance for LPAs

Just like with your Will, storing your LPAs securely matters. We offer professional storage and insurance — giving you cover for up to £2 million against loss or damage, even if we didn’t write the documents. And yes, you can use this service even if your LPAs were made elsewhere.
