you act in time. Lasting Powers of Attorney are not cheap (though our fees are modest) but at least they appoint your choice of people to look after you and your finances. The Court of Protection is far slower, far more expensive and bureacratic and you may find your life being managed by a solicitor or East Sussex County Council rather than your choice of friend or relative. Lasting Powers of Attorney are vital: if you have an accident or serious illness and someone else needs to make urgent decisions for you, the optiions are to make Lasting Powers of Attorney OR rely on the Court of Protection. So if you want to be sure the right people look after you, and you are over 18, contact us.
