About LPA Protect

LPA PROTECT, had a vision of setting up an organisation offering a quality Lasting Power of Attorney Service to clients experiencing hardship as a result of caring for family members with declining health. Registering LPAs is crucial, but should not be expensive particularly as many people are already struggling to pay care costs for relatives. The danger is many people will delay organising the implementation of an LPA. They are unaware that without one, the potential complexities can be devastating. Having had to deal with the affairs of a loved one who become suddenly unwell, and being unable to act for them, people recognise the importance of having an LPA in place. Its has become clear many family members do not have control when dealing with their loved ones’ health and financial matters. Financial Companies and Health and Welfare Services, bound by mental capacity and data protection legislation, are often unable to act on the instructions of a family member without an LPA in place. If a person then loses mental capacity, an application to the Court of Protection to become a Deputy would have to be made. This is an extremely lengthy and costly process, which would need to be paid for by friends or family until funds can be released. And of course, this can be avoided by registering an LPA. LPA PROTECT strongly believe that the costs are fair and are at a level that most people in the vast majority of cases will be able to afford.
