Frequently Asked Questions
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to choose someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to make them yourself. There are two types: Property and Financial Affairs and Health and Welfare. I can explain the differences and help you put the appropriate arrangements in place.
If someone can no longer make decisions for themselves and there is no appropriate LPA in place, their family may need to make an application to the Court of Protection. This can involve appointing a deputy to make certain decisions about their finances or welfare. I can advise you on the options available and guide you through the process.
It is a good idea to review your Will when your circumstances change. This could include getting married, separating, having children or grandchildren, buying a property or experiencing a significant change in your finances or family circumstances. I can review your existing Will and advise whether it needs updating.
Family law covers a range of issues affecting families and relationships. I can provide advice on matters including divorce and separation, financial arrangements, prenuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, children and child arrangements. I will explain your options and help you understand the legal steps involved.
You can start divorce proceedings yourself, but getting legal advice can help you understand your rights and make sure important issues are considered alongside the divorce. In particular, financial arrangements and arrangements for children may need to be dealt with separately. I can advise you on your circumstances and explain what you need to do.
Yes. I can provide advice about child arrangements, including where a child should live, when they should spend time with each parent and other issues concerning their upbringing. Where possible, I can help you understand the options for reaching an agreement without unnecessary conflict.
The law is complex. Your experience doesn’t have to be.
