Following a recent announcement, LPA Now provides London couples with professional assistance in writing up an LPA (Lasting Power of Attorney) for their properties, finances, and health. LPA Now is a personal service for those who want to ensure they have an LPA in place, offering an affordable alternative to engaging a solicitor.

Contrary to what many believe, a spouse or registered partner does not automatically have the power to make financial or health decisions on the other's end if they are incapacitated. LPA Now offers personal guidance to help clients set up an LPA so that the decision-making is in the hands of a loved one.
"The thought of losing the mental capacity to manage your affairs is not pleasant. But it's important that these matters are talked through and weighed up carefully before your capacity to make a decision becomes impaired," a company spokesperson said.
Insights from Canada Life reveal that 77% of UK adults over 55 years did not have an LPA in place in 2022. However, in 2023, that trend changed, with over 1 million applications registered, up 37% from the previous year. This sudden upturn can be explained by the COVID-19 pandemic, easier applications, and earlier diagnosis of dementia.
LPA Now encourages donors to seek guidance from the company's consultants, pointing out that these important decisions should not be dispensed with as a simplified online form. The guidance can be provided by phone or an at-home visit.
With both alternatives, a consultant will draft the LPA over the phone before either sending the final documents by post or delivering them in person. LPA Now handles the whole process, from filling out forms, seeing to the final signing and submitting the documents to the Office of the Public Guardian.

Donors can choose from three different tiers: one LPA for financial or health and welfare decisions, both LPAs, or a mirror LPA that includes financial, property, health and welfare decisions for both partners, created together.
"Leaving it too late can result in needing to apply to the Court of Protection, which is much more expensive and time-consuming and makes managing your affairs, bank accounts, medical treatment and other health and care issues more restrictive for your family or carers," the company spokesperson said.
