Derbyshire Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitor

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you appoint trusted people to make decisions on your behalf if you can no longer do so due to illness or loss of mental capacity. At Marley Solicitors, we specialise in helping Derbyshire residents create LPAs for property and financial affairs or health and welfare, ensuring your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected.

We understand that planning for the future can feel daunting. Our experienced team at Marley Solicitors offers clear, compassionate guidance, handling everything from drafting to registering your LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian. Whether you’re in Derby, Ashbourne, or anywhere in Derbyshire, we make the process straightforward, giving you peace of mind.

Lasting powers of attorney: Why they matter

Lasting Powers of Attorney are increasingly vital as people plan for unexpected changes in health or capacity. While specific data for Derbyshire is limited, UK-wide trends highlight their importance, with many Derbyshire residents taking steps to secure their future:

• Over 900,000 LPAs were registered in the UK in 2023 alone, reflecting growing awareness of the need to plan for mental incapacity.
• The Office of the Public Guardian reports a 50% increase in LPA abuse investigations from 2017 to 2018, underscoring the need for professional guidance to ensure your LPA is set up correctly.
• 74% of UK adults aged 65–74 have not yet made an LPA, leaving many vulnerable if they lose capacity, a trend likely mirrored in Derbyshire’s ageing population.

With communities across postcodes like DE1, DE4, DE5, DE6, DE7, DE45, DE55, DE56, DE65, DE73, Marley Solicitors helps Derbyshire residents create robust LPAs, avoiding costly Court of Protection processes and ensuring your chosen attorneys act in your best interests.
