Frequently Asked Questions
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you (the ‘donor’) appoint one or more people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.
This gives you more control over what happens to you if you have an accident or an illness and cannot make your own decisions (you “lack mental capacity”).
In simple terms, it’s a legal arrangement where you can give an asset (such as property, money, shares) to someone, known as the ‘trustee’, to look after for another person, known as the ‘beneficiary’.
The trustee technically owns the assets and is obliged to manage the trust for the beneficiary, who will then receive the asset at a given time.
Probate is a legal process that applies when a person dies and their assets such as money and property are valued and distributed among their heirs.
You should not make any financial plans or put a property on the market until you’ve got probate.
A lot of people are and the most common worries are “How will I afford it?” “What happens to the money I’ve worked and saved hard all of my life for?”. We can help you protect your assets to ensure your estate is safely passed on.
Everyone. Estate Planning is the process of anticipating and arranging for the management and disposal of your assets during your life and at and after your death, whilst minimising tax.
Estate planning also includes planning for incapacity so someone you trust can deal with your affairs if you get to a point in life where you can no longer act for yourself.
