There are two types of Lasting Powers, one for your finances and one for your health and welfare. It is equally important to have both Lasting Powers. Remember that if you do lose mental capacity, you can no longer sign a contract to sell your home, and you cannot give or withhold consent to your medical treatment.

We charge £150 per Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), or £280.00 if you have both done together.
This is a very competitive price, and is the Lowest Price in the North East of England. Unlike Law Firms No VAT is payable on any of the charges or fees. Our charges include a home visit to take instructions and then to obtain signatures. You can relax in the comfort of your own home knowing that a professional is engaged.
