It is never too early or too late to start thinking about your future and the future of those who will be left behind when you are no longer around. The CJCH Private Client Team specialise in preparing Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and advising on effective Estate planning.
By making a Will, you will be putting your wishes into place, to give you peace of mind that your loved ones will have guidance on what to do when you pass.
With regard to Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs), there are two types
- Property and financial affairs (allowing an attorney to make decisions about paying bills, dealing with the bank, collecting benefits, selling your house, etc)
- Health and welfare (allowing decisions on treatment, care, medication, where you live, etc)
The benefits of making a Lasting Power of Attorney
It allows you to plan in advance
- The decisions you want to be made on your behalf if or when you lose capacity to make them yourself
- The people you want as attorneys to make these decisions
- How you want the attorney to make these decisions
If you have not made an LPA
- Other people may need to apply to the Court of Protection to make any decision on your behalf
- The Court of Protection route can be a more extensive process but our experienced team can also assist with this if required
We provide services that are tailor-made to your needs and personal circumstances.
