Whether you’re in Cheltenham, Dursley, or Lechlade, our expert team is here to guide you through the process with care and clarity.

Lasting power of attorney in Gloucestershire: The facts

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity or need assistance. According to the Office of the Public Guardian, over 5 million LPAs were registered in England and Wales by 2023, with numbers growing annually. In Gloucestershire, local estimates suggest thousands of residents in postcodes like GL3, GL9, and GL55 have set up LPAs to safeguard their future. Despite this, many people delay creating an LPA, risking complex legal processes for their families if the unexpected happens.

Types of lasting power of attorney

There are two types of LPA, and Marley Solicitors can help you with both:

• Property and financial affairs LPA: Allows your chosen attorney to manage your finances, pay bills, or sell property on your behalf. Ideal for residents in areas like Dursley (GL11) or Lechlade (GL7).
• Health and welfare LPA: Empowers your attorney to make decisions about your healthcare, living arrangements, or medical treatment. Popular among clients in places like Stow-on-the-Wold (GL54).

Without an LPA, your loved ones may need to apply to the Court of Protection, which can be costly and time-consuming. Marley Solicitors helps you avoid this by setting up your LPA efficiently.
