Step 1
Choose your attorneys
Pick the people you trust to act on your behalf. Decide how they work together.
Record your wishes while you are able to.
A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you choose who makes decisions for you if you lose capacity. GetWill helps you record your values, preferences and instructions, so your attorneys know what you would have wanted.
Why set up an LPA now
Capacity can change without warning. You can only make an LPA while you have capacity, so it is worth doing early.
Capacity can change suddenly
A stroke, an accident or dementia can take capacity away quickly. Without an LPA, your family may need to apply to the Court of Protection, a separate process with its own fees.
Your wishes guide decisions
Care, medical treatment, finances. Your values and preferences are captured now and used when it matters most.
Your chosen safeguard
You pick the people you trust, set conditions and restrictions, and decide how they work together.
Protect your family
Without an LPA, your spouse cannot automatically manage your finances or make health decisions on your behalf. An LPA removes that uncertainty.
A record of what matters to you that your attorneys can act on.
The wishes vault captures everything your attorneys need to act in your best interests.

Step 3
Your attorneys are guided
When it matters, your attorneys have a clear, detailed guide to making decisions in your best interests.
Two types of LPA
Each type covers a different area of decision-making.
Property & Financial Affairs
Manage bank accounts, investments, property, and tax on behalf of the donor. This type can be used while the donor still has capacity if they choose.
Health & Welfare
Care decisions, medical treatment, and living arrangements. This type can only be used when the donor lacks capacity for that specific decision.
Clear pricing
Work through the questions first, then choose professional preparation or ongoing Hub tools.

“Good record-keeping is the best protection an attorney can have. It is also the best safeguard a donor can put in place.”
Without an LPA, nobody has automatic authority to act for you.
Your family would need to apply to the Court of Protection, which takes time and costs money.
Time
A deputyship application to the Court of Protection can take months, and nobody can act for you while it is decided.
Costs to apply
£432 application fee, plus a £100 assessment fee for a new deputy, paid again if a deputy is needed for both money and welfare decisions.
Costs every year
Supervision at £320 a year (general supervision) or £35 (minimal supervision), and usually a security bond whose cost depends on the estate. A deputy also reports to the Office of the Public Guardian each year.
