Important Information
When choosing a solicitor for elder law matters, look for specialists who are members of Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) or have Law Society accreditation in this area.
Many solicitors offer fixed fees for standard services like Lasting Power of Attorney. Always ask for a clear breakdown of costs before proceeding.
Time-Sensitive Matters
Power of Attorney must be set up while the person still has mental capacity. If capacity is already lost, you may need to apply for deputyship through the Court of Protection - a more complex and expensive process.
