Lasting power of attorney

Lasting power of attorney support from Saga Legal starting from £120

Saga Legal has partnered with Co-op Legal Services, who provide regulated legal services, helping to ensure you have the right level of support and protection for yourself and your family.

Without a lasting power of attorney (LPA), if you become unable to make your own decisions because of an accident or illness, no one can automatically step in to take care of things for you. This includes making decisions on your behalf about your health and care or helping to manage your finances or property. That’s why it’s so important to consider making an LPA while you’re able to do so. 

An LPA is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to step in and make important decisions for you, in case you’re ever unable to make these decisions yourself. By making an LPA, you can retain control over who manages your affairs, how decisions are made for you and what you would like to happen in certain situations. Think of it like an insurance policy, you hope to never need it, but it’s there if you do.

Co-op Legal Services offers a range of service options to suit your needs. These include telephone appointments, video meetings and home visits.

There are two different types of LPAs

There are two types of LPA available in England and Wales. A financial decisions LPA covers any assets, property and money you own in England or Wales, while a health and care LPA covers your welfare, medical treatment and day to day care. You can put just one type of LPA in place, or you can put both in place to cover all bases.

Co-op Legal Services can help you to put either one or both types of LPA in place, with comprehensive guidance and support throughout.
