Powers of Attorney
We can help you ensure that your property and finances can be managed if you become unable to do so yourself. We can record any wishes you may have about medical treatment, in the event that you are unable to give your consent to treatment in the future. We can also assist you to hand over the management of your property and finances to a trusted person in the event that you are unwilling to manage them yourself, such as if you leave the country for an extended period.
Our Powers of Attorney can often be done for an agreed fee. Example fees (inclusive of VAT) are listed below, but are subject to your own precise requirements:
- General Power of Attorney – £330.00
- Single Lasting Power of Attorney (either Property & Finance or Health & Welfare) – £492.00
- Double Lasting Power of Attorney (either Property & Finance and Health & Welfare for a single person, or one type for each of a couple) – £792.00
- Four Lasting Powers of Attorney (both Property & Finance and Health & Welfare for a couple) – £1,212.00
- Registration of an Enduring Power of Attorney – £492.00
In addition to our fees, a registration fee is payable to the Office of the Public Guardian of £82 per Lasting or Enduring Power of Attorney. This registration fee may be reduced or exempted if you are in receipt of certain means tested benefits, or are on a low income.
