A Lasting Power of Attorney enables you to appoint people you trust to be your voice and have the practical powers they need to be able to help and make decisions for you in the event you become unable to do so. We will give you peace of mind that you and your family are protected.

What are the benefits of making a Lasting Power of Attorney?

  • Peace of mind for you and your family

  • Avoiding the stress and expense of applying to the Court of Protection

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that enables you to appoint people you trust to make decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself.

What types of decisions does this cover?

There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney and it is recommended you have both.

1. Property and Financial Affairs

This covers paying the bills, mortgage, access to bank accounts, paying for care or treatment, buying, selling, maintaining your property, pensions, investments, benefits and allow your attorneys to communicate with professionals such as financial advisers, banks and accountants.

If you run a business, a Lasting Power of Attorney can be critical to enable it to continue. A specific Lasting Power of Attorney can be set up if you want different attorneys to manage your personal finances and business.

2. Health and Welfare

This covers day-to-day care, where you live, medical treatment, alternative therapies, expressing your personal wishes and beliefs and end of life decisions.

A Lasting Power of Attorney for health and welfare enables your attorneys to speak to medical, health and social care professionals on your behalf so that your wishes are known. This can determine the care and treatment you receive.

What happens if I don't make a Lasting Power of Attorney?

If you don't have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, your family will need to obtain permission to act for you from the Court of Protection. This can be a very stressful and expensive process that can take several months and cost thousands of pounds in legal and medical fees. In the meantime, your family will be stuck and unable to assist you.

Many people mistakenly believe that if they are married and/or have joint accounts that they don't need Lasting Power of Attorney.

Bank accounts can be frozen and being married does not give you power to decide for your spouse/civil partner if he/she is incapacitated.

A few years ago I tried to claim this. It was declined. After some 5 years I saw adverts offering help with claiming AA. I read so many reviews all from real people saying they had been granted AA after the team fom Johnathon Owen had assisted them. What did I have to lose in trying again, after all it was a no win no fee based service. So after getting a call and talking and explaing the situation the papers were completed. I received them,read them and then added all my medical reports related to each condition. This is vital in helping your claim and the more you can send the better. The form pages are very clever in how the questions are asked and laid out. With the experience of my assistant who knew how to complete the forms I sent it off. In about 4 weeks I had a letter from local Council telling me it had been approved for various help with Council Tax, then the second letter from Belfast arrived. DWP always send letters marked Belfast on the back. Well, happy days...full rate granted. Do not struggle and guess when doing this paper work. I see it as the cost of the fee is trivial to the annual amount tax free you will receive. I am sorry I can't remember who helped me, suffice to say you are a Diamond. Many,many thanks for your help.

I cannot thank this company enough for their support with my Attendance Allowance application. From start to finish, they were professional, kind, and extremely efficient. I had no problems at all, and they guided me calmly and clearly through the interview process, which made a big difference to me. The whole experience was handled with care and respect. My claim was successful within a couple of weeks. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with their application.
Tilly Moodley
Great service, friendly to deal with. Received full Attendance Allowance within just a few weeks
D. Trimming
Didn't know I could claim this. Saw an ad on FaceBook for this company and got in touch.spoke a lady who was very helpful and sympathetic filled out a form with me on the phone. The application arrived 2 days later. Check the form, signed it, and sent it off. 6 weeks later got a phone call from DWP to say I am entitled to it. Yes I could have filled the form in myself but they dotted all the 'I's and crossed the'T's ,properly. I think it was worth every penny. They are very professional and trustworthy. Thank you for the experience. Without your help I would not know what Attendance Allowance was.
Matthew Day
Absolutely delighted with the help and advise Jonathan Owens provided. They made the whole process of successfully receiving my Attendance Allowance, easy and stress free. I cannot recommend them highly enough, from the receptionist to the agent who dealt with me. Do not delay. Contact them.
