What happens if you lose capacity without an LPA?

​​With one person developing dementia every 3 minutes and over 100,000 strokes in the UK per year, the need to have planning in place for loss of capacity has never been more required.

​

If you're unfortunate enough to lose capacity without an LPA set up, you could be subject to...

Social Services "Calling The Shots" - If a Doctor confirms you no longer have capacity to make decisions, the local authority can take control of your finance, property, and healthcare decisions.

Bank Accounts Being Frozen - If you have a joint account and lose mental capacity, the bank will usually freeze it until a deputy is appointed or Power Of Attorney is registered.

Medical Decisions Being Made Without Your Family's Input - How you are cared for will be decided by a complete stranger. This can lead to you being quickly put into residential care and your estate subject to hefty care home fees.

Loved Ones Needing To Fight It Out In Court - Without an LPA in place, your family will need to go through a lengthy and costly court procedure to try and take back control. The exact opposite of what you want at an already stressful time.

So, what exactly is an LPA?

An LPA is comprised of two legal documents: one covers your health and welfare, one covers your finance and property.

By registering an LPA with the Office Of Public Guardian, you are giving consent for someone to make legal decisions for you should you become incapable. This means that the decision making now defaults to that trusted person, or persons, rather than a court appointed deputy. 

​

Some of the key decisions an LPA covers are...

  • What's a Mirror Will?
    A Mirror Will is when two people, e.g. husband and wife leave everything to each other initially, and then have the same beneficiaries following both passing. A 'Protective Property Trust Will' may be more suitable if you have different beneficiaries but jointly own your property.
  • What's the difference between us and a High-Street Solicitor?
    We specialise in Estate Planning Law, which means we have the expertise to handle not just straightforward Wills but also Trusts and Inheritance Tax Planning. Our in-house legal team is comprised of multiple professions and our advice is regularly updated with Tax Barristers and KC's.
  • Do I Need a Solicitor to Write a Will?
    While it’s not legally required to use a solicitor, having professional legal assistance ensures your will is correctly drafted, reducing the risk of errors and future disputes. Our experienced team provides peace of mind that your will is legally sound and comprehensive.
  • Who Should Be My Executor?
    An executor is responsible for managing your estate after your passing. You can choose a trusted friend, family member, or a professional such as a solicitor. It’s important to select someone capable and trustworthy, as they’ll handle legal and financial responsibilities.
  • Can I Write My Own Will?
    While you can write your own will, there are strict legal requirements to ensure its validity. Mistakes can lead to the will being contested or even deemed invalid. Our professional service ensures everything is legally sound and reflects your wishes.
  • What Happens If I Die Without a Will?
    Dying without a will, known as dying "intestate," means your estate will be distributed according to UK intestacy laws. This can lead to outcomes you might not have intended, such as distant relatives inheriting instead of close friends or charities.
