Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA)
Protect Your Future with a Lasting Power of Attorney
At Set in Stone Wills and LPAs Ltd, we understand that planning for the future can feel overwhelming. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a vital tool that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you ever become unable to do so.
Just like a Will protects your loved ones after you’re gone, an LPA protects you while you’re still alive. It ensures your finances, property, and healthcare decisions are handled according to your wishes, providing security for you and peace of mind for your family.

Types of Lasting Powers of Attorney
We specialise in all aspects of LPAs and can advise on the right option for your circumstances:
- Property and Financial Affairs LPA
- Gives your chosen attorney authority to manage your money, property, and financial decisions.
- Useful for paying bills, managing bank accounts, or handling property matters if you can’t.
- Health and Welfare LPA
- Allows your attorney to make decisions about your healthcare and personal welfare.
- Covers decisions such as medical treatment, care arrangements, and daily living choices if you are unable to decide for yourself.
You can create either type individually or both together, depending on your needs.
Why a Lasting Power of Attorney Matters
Without an LPA, if you become unable to make decisions, the Court of Protection must get involved to appoint someone for you — a process that is often time-consuming, stressful, and costly.
Having an LPA in place ensures:
- Peace of mind for you and your loved ones
- Your decisions are made by someone you trust
- Your family avoids unnecessary legal complications
- Your finances and healthcare are managed smoothly and according to your wishes
