Planning for the future can feel overwhelming, but setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) ensures your decisions remain in trusted hands.

Whether you’re in Liverpool, St Helens, or Wirral, our dedicated team is here to make the process straightforward, giving you peace of mind.
What is a lasting power of attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint trusted individuals, known as attorneys, to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the capacity to do so. There are two types of LPAs:
- Property and financial affairs LPA: Covers decisions about your finances, such as managing bank accounts or paying bills.
- Health and welfare LPA: Allows your attorney to make decisions about your medical care, living arrangements, or daily routines.
With Marley Solicitors, we ensure your LPA reflects your wishes, tailored to your unique circumstances in Merseyside.
