Making a Will is effective forward-planning but the importance of a Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) can often be overlooked.
This important legal document provides individuals of your choosing with the legal authority to look after specific aspects of your health and welfare or financial affairs should you lose capacity to do so.
A sudden, debilitating illness could affect your ability to make your own decisions. There is a misconception that your spouse or adult child automatically has the right to look after your affairs, which isn’t the case.
An LPA isn’t just for the elderly; younger people can become incapacitated through ill health or an accident. By having an LPA in place you can help to ensure that your wishes regarding your continued welfare and affairs are carried out as you intended, providing you with peace of mind.
With Kirwans, you have access to a team that will guide you through the complexities to help ensure that you have the right LPA in place for your circumstances.
There are two types of LPA:
1. A Property and Affairs LPA. This provides your attorney(s) power to make decisions about your financial affairs and your property on your behalf; and
2. A Health and Welfare LPA. This gives your attorney(s) the ability to make decisions about your personal welfare when you can’t. In addition, this can be used to give effect to advance medical decisions you may have made your attorney (s) aware of.

John - Excellent work
Andrew resolved a Leasehold/Freehold issue that had existed since I first offered on my property in March of 2019 and my previous (rubbish) solicitor was instructed to purchase the house and the Freehold which the seller had agreed to. He subsequently didn't and I ended up reluctantly having to buy as a leaseholder. I then had a year of grief with the Ground Rent company who didn't have me as a tenant so wouldn't discuss the issue with me due to Data Protection but instead threatened me with legal action for non payment of the ground rent despite not actually invoicing me for it. Then the freeholder offered me the Freehold in Oct 2021 and then kept stalling whenever Kirwans chased for an update. It's been a long, stressful and tedious road for Andrew to navigate through. However he managed to resolve the issue and I'm now the Freeholder of my home. Excellent work. I am so appreciative.
On another matter, I am the Executor of my mother's estate and over the last year, I have been dealing with Sara Bellringer in Moreton office with initially Power of Attorney and more recently Probate matters. She handled everything professionally & sensitively and and took all of the stress away. Excellent work.
Thanks again. You've both made me so happy.
