Lasting Power of Attorney Lawyer in Berkshire

Why choose Marley Solicitors for your lasting power of attorney?

At Marley Solicitors, we understand that planning for the future can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves important decisions about your finances or health. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so. Whether it’s managing your property and financial affairs or ensuring your health and care needs are met, our expert team is here to guide Berkshire residents through every step of the process.

We pride ourselves on clear communication, compassionate service, and tailored advice to suit your unique circumstances. With Marley Solicitors, you can have peace of mind knowing your LPA is set up correctly and reflects your wishes.

Understanding lasting power of attorney

There are two types of LPA:

• Property and financial affairs LPA: Allows your chosen attorney to manage your finances, such as paying bills or managing investments.
• Health and welfare LPA: Enables your attorney to make decisions about your medical care and daily wellbeing if you lose mental capacity.

In 2023, over 1.16 million LPAs were registered across the UK, a 37% increase from the previous year, reflecting growing awareness of their importance. However, statistics show that 78% of UK adults, including 77% of those over 55, still do not have an LPA in place. For Berkshire residents, securing an LPA is a vital step to ensure your wishes are respected, especially with an ageing population and rising dementia diagnoses (1.4 million UK cases projected by 2040).

Why Berkshire residents need an LPA

Berkshire’s vibrant communities, from Reading to Maidenhead, are home to a diverse population, including many older adults planning for their future. Without an LPA, your loved ones may face complex legal processes to make decisions on your behalf, which can be costly and time-consuming. Marley Solicitors helps Berkshire residents avoid these challenges by ensuring your LPA is registered efficiently (at a cost of £82 per LPA, unless eligible for exemptions).

Our streamlined process, inspired by the UK’s improved online application system, ensures your LPA is tailored to your needs and registered without delay.
