Lasting Powers of Attorney

At SHG LAW, we believe in providing clear, straightforward pricing for Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) services. Creating an LPA is an essential step in planning for the future, and we are here to help you through the process with professional, affordable, and transparent pricing.

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?

A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone (called an 'attorney') to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so in the future. There are two types of LPAs:

1. Property and Financial Affairs LPA: Gives your attorney the authority to make decisions about your finances and property.

2. Health and Welfare LPA: Gives your attorney the authority to make decisions about your health care and welfare, including medical treatment and living arrangements.

Our LPA Services

We offer a range of services for both types of LPAs to ensure your wishes are protected, no matter the circumstances. Whether you need help drafting a single LPA or both, we are here to guide you.
