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
  • Practical powers to be able to assist you at a time you need it most
  • 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.

Having viewed the Attendance Allowance form online it just overwhelmed me and I knew I just couldn't do it. Saw Jonathan Owen's advert on Facebook and decided to instruct them to complete the form for me. I have been awarded the Allowance so many thanks to Tamara and the team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Very impressed with the service and professionalism by Ebony in completing the forms, I would highly recommend and in fact I did refer a friend of mine to yourselves who I hope will be successful in his application, thanks very much .

I had seen Jonathan Owen Wills and Trusts on Facebook, and "liked" their post, and was contacted with an offer to complete an application for Attendance Allowance with their "no win, no fee" deal. I decided to apply on my own, and initially filled the endless form and submitted it to DWP but was refused. To my surprise, I had a call from Jonathan Owen Wills and Trusts, and I said my application had been declined. They assured me they'd be happy to fill an application form on my behalf, and that their success rate was usually pretty high.I'm very glad I took up their offer, and have been awarded AA after just a few weeks, reducing my anxiety over my financial difficulties.Thanks very much to Tim and the team for your perseverance and the excellent service - I'd willingly recommend your company to everyone in a similar situation.

What a fantastic company to work with! From start to finish, they knew exactly what they were doing. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help with filing or any of the services they provide. Every now and then, you come across a true gem in customer service — rare these days — and they are that gem.
