Why You Might Need an LPA

Mental or physical incapacity can happen at any time—through illness, accident, or age. Setting up an LPA in advance ensures:

• Your chosen person is in charge, not the courts

• Financial matters are handled smoothly

• Healthcare decisions reflect your values

• Loved ones are spared from stressful legal delays

Types of LPA We Offer

At Archer Legacy Planning, we guide you through both types of LPAs:

1. Property & Financial Affairs LPA

Let your attorney manage bank accounts, bills, property, and investments on your behalf.

2. Health & Welfare LPA

Gives your attorney the authority to make decisions about your healthcare, treatment, daily care, and living arrangements.

You can choose to have one or both types in place—it all depends on your needs.

What’s Involved?

We make the process as easy as possible:

• Initial Consultation – We’ll explain your options in plain English

• Document Preparation – We draft the legal forms and ensure they’re correct

• Registration with the OPG – We handle submission to the Office of the Public Guardian

• Ongoing Support – We’re here if anything changes or if you need to update your LPA

FAQ

What Happens If You Don’t Have an LPA?

If you lose capacity and don’t have an LPA:

• Your family may have to apply to the Court of Protection

• The process is time-consuming, expensive, and stressful

• A court-appointed deputy may not be someone you’d choose

• Your affairs could be left in limbo at a critical time

Creating an LPA gives you peace of mind now—and saves your family future heartache.
