Why a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney is the only way to guarantee your wishes are carried out if you can't make decisions yourself. There are two types: one covering your health and care, and another covering your finances and property. Without one, your family has no legal right to act for you, no matter how close they are. A court decides instead, a process that can take over a year and cost significantly more. An LPA can only be set up while you have capacity, so it's not something that you should put off or wait until you are older.
75% of people assume their family can make decisions for them if they lose capacity. They can't. Not without a Lasting Power of Attorney.

Who We Work With
Every family has its own dynamics. Some situations are straightforward. Others need more careful thought. Ensure Legal works with individuals and families across a wide range of circumstances:
- Couples planning ahead to protect each other and their children
- Blended families navigating second marriages and step-children
- Families with complex dynamics, including estranged relatives or siblings who don’t always agree
- Adult children helping a parent put an LPA in place
- Business owners who need to protect both personal and commercial interests
- Anyone who wants expert guidance rather than a standard online process
We prepare both types of Lasting Power of Attorney: Health and Welfare, covering decisions about your care, medical treatment, and where you live; and Property and Financial Affairs, covering your finances, property, savings, and any business interests. Most people choose to set up both.
Every LPA we prepare is tailored to your specific situation. We take the time to understand your family, ask the questions that matter, and make sure the right people are in place before anything goes on paper.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an LPA cost?
Ensure Legal's fees start from £300 for a single LPA, £600 for both types, and £1,100 for a joint couple. The Office of the Public Guardian also charges £92 per LPA to register it [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-of-the-public-guardian]. All fees include personalised guidance, document preparation, and registration support. Every LPA we prepare is backed by our 100% approval guarantee.
Do I need a solicitor to set up an LPA?
No. Ensure Legal provides specialist LPA guidance with the added benefit of financial advisory and later life care expertise, giving you a depth of support that most solicitors don't offer.
How long does it take to register an LPA?
Once submitted to the Office of the Public Guardian, registration typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. We prepare your documents thoroughly to minimise the risk of delays or rejection.
Can my spouse automatically make decisions for me?
No. Your spouse, partner, or family members have no automatic legal right to manage your finances or make decisions about your care. The only way to give someone that authority is by setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney.
Can I change my mind about who I've appointed?
Yes. As long as you have mental capacity, you can remove an attorney using a partial deed of revocation, or cancel the entire LPA and create a new one. This is one of the reasons it's important to get the decisions right first time.
