The complete LPA service covers everything from start to finish: advice on choosing attorneys, preparing the forms, checking every page, guiding each person through signing in the right order and submitting the LPA to the Office of the Public Guardian. You get one fixed fee of £175 per LPA, with the government registration fee paid separately.
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.
Areas covered near Evesham: Pershore, Broadway, Badsey, Bretforton, Offenham and the Vale of Evesham.
Your certificate provider confirms you understand the LPA and are not being pressured into making it. It must be someone who has known you personally for at least two years, or a professional such as a doctor or solicitor. It cannot be a family member or one of your attorneys.
An attorney must be 18 or over and have mental capacity. For a property and financial affairs LPA, they cannot be bankrupt or subject to a debt relief order. Most people choose a spouse, partner, adult children or close friends they trust to act in their best interests.
It helps to have the full names, addresses and dates of birth of the people you want as attorneys and replacement attorneys, and the name and address of your certificate provider. You do not need any documents beyond that; David explains everything else at the visit.

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. Our FAQs explain how capacity is assessed.
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. An LPA put in place now avoids all of this.
Mental capacity can be lost suddenly or gradually, at any age. Common causes include:
An LPA is not just for later life.
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. See our FAQs 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.
