David’s power of attorney service follows a clear process: a home visit to talk through your wishes, preparation of the forms, guided signing in the correct order by you, your certificate provider and your attorneys, then registration with the Office of the Public Guardian. You pay nothing until all of the documents are ready.
In Evesham and across the Vale, including Pershore, Broadway, Badsey, Bretforton and Offenham, David offers the same home-visit LPA service he provides in Gloucestershire. You do not need to travel to an office: David brings the forms, guides you through every section and handles the registration with the Office of the Public Guardian.
Home visits also available in Evesham: Pershore, Broadway, Badsey, Bretforton, Offenham and the Vale of Evesham.
David visits you at home and talks through what you want your LPA to do, who you would like as attorneys and replacement attorneys, and who could act as your certificate provider. He takes the details he needs, then prepares the forms for you, so there is nothing to fill in yourself.
You sign first, then your certificate provider, then your attorneys and any replacement attorneys. Signatures must be witnessed, and an attorney cannot witness your signature. Signing in the wrong order is a common reason the OPG rejects an LPA, which is why David guides everyone through it.
You pay nothing until all of your documents have been prepared. David’s fee is £175 per LPA. The £92 Office of the Public Guardian registration fee for each LPA is paid separately to the government.

In my opinion having a registered LPA in place is as important as making a will, if not more so. Sadly, many of us will know of a loved one, friend or neighbour who has lost their mental capacity through accident or illness.
Ensuring that you have an LPA registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) will provide peace of mind to you (the donor) and your appointed representative(s) (your attorney(s)) that they will have a legally binding authority to act on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself, concerning matters such as financial affairs and your health and welfare.
Mental capacity means being able to make a decision and understand its consequences. Under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, a person lacks capacity for a decision if they cannot understand the relevant information, retain it, weigh it up, or communicate their decision. Capacity is judged decision by decision, at the time the decision needs to be made.
Your attorney should be someone you trust completely, such as a family member, close friend or professional. Read more about capacity in our FAQs.
Many people assume a husband, wife or civil partner can automatically step in. They cannot. Without a registered LPA, no one, including your spouse, has the legal authority to manage your finances or make decisions about your care if you lose mental capacity.
Instead, your family would have to apply to the Court of Protection to appoint a deputy, which can take many months and costs far more than an LPA. In the meantime, banks can restrict accounts, including joint accounts, to essential transactions only. Families in Evesham can avoid this by putting an LPA in place now.
Mental capacity can be lost suddenly or gradually, at any age. Common causes include:
Planning ahead matters at any age.
If you are a sole trader, partner or company director and lose mental capacity without an LPA, it may not be possible to pay staff or suppliers or complete business transactions. Banks can freeze accounts held jointly with business partners. A business LPA lets someone you trust keep things running. Our FAQs cover LPAs for business owners.
Examples of Attorney Powers – Health and Welfare
Once you can no longer make a decision yourself, a health and welfare attorney can, for example:
1. Decide where you live, including moving into a care home.
2. Arrange the care and support you need.
3. Consent to or refuse medical treatment, and decide about life-sustaining treatment only if you have given them that authority.
4. Make day-to-day decisions such as diet, dress and social activities.
5. See personal information about you, including medical records, where it is needed for a decision.
These are examples only. You can add restrictions or instructions, and some decisions, such as marriage or voting, can never be made by an attorney.
Examples of Attorney Powers – Property and Financial Affairs
With your permission, or once you lose mental capacity, a property and financial affairs attorney can, for example:
1. Manage your bank and building society accounts.
2. Pay bills, household costs and care fees.
3. Claim pensions and benefits on your behalf.
4. Buy, sell or rent out your property.
5. Deal with your tax returns and investments.
Gifts are limited to customary occasions and reasonable amounts; larger gifts or tax planning need Court of Protection approval. These are examples only, not a full list.
