Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)

What a Lasting Power of Attorney Really Is

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you ever become unable to do so.
It is not simply a form — it is a safeguard, a continuity plan, and a way of ensuring your wishes are honoured with clarity and dignity.
There are two types of LPA. Both are equally important, and together they create a complete framework of protection.

1. Health & Welfare LPA

For decisions about your care, wellbeing, and daily life.This LPA allows your chosen attorneys to make decisions such as:
* Your medical treatment
* Where you live
* Day‑to‑day care
* Life‑sustaining treatment decisions
* Your personal routines and preferences
It only comes into effect if you lose mental capacity, ensuring your voice is still heard when you cannot speak for yourself.This is the LPA that protects your dignity, your values, and your personal wishes.

2. Property & Financial Affairs LPA

For decisions about your money, assets, and financial responsibilities.This LPA allows your attorneys to manage:
* Bank accounts and savings
* Investments and pensions
* Property transactions
* Bills, expenses, and financial commitments
* Business or rental income
* Tax and administrative matters
Unlike the Health & Welfare LPA, this one can be used with your permission while you still have capacity, offering support, continuity, and practical help when needed.This is the LPA that protects your financial stability and ensures nothing is left unmanaged.

Why Most People Choose Both

Together, the two LPAs create a complete protective framework:
One safeguards your wellbeing
One safeguards your financial world
Both ensure your wishes are respected
Both reduce stress and uncertainty for loved ones
Both prevent delays, disputes, and court involvement
For most clients, choosing both is the most balanced and responsible approach.

My Role in the Process

Your LPA service is delivered with the same boutique, advisory‑led approach as your other planning services:* Clear explanation of each LPA and what it covers
* Guidance on choosing the right attorneys
* Drafting with precision and clarity
* Ensuring your wishes are properly reflected
* Managing the signing and witnessing process
* Registration with the Office of the Public Guardian
* Support throughout the entire journey
This is a calm, structured, and fully supported experience — not a form‑filling exercise.

DOCUMENT DRAFTING

How do you determine the cost of a document?
Fees are based on the length and complexity of the document. A clear estimate is always provided before any work begins.

Yes — each length tier has a starting price. Once I have seen the document or received a brief description of what you need, I confirm the exact fee before any work starts.
How long does the process take?
Most documents are completed within 3–5 working days. Larger or more complex materials may take longer, and this will be discussed in advance.
Can you work with sensitive or personal information?
Yes. All information is handled with care, discretion, and professionalism.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. I offer clarity, structure, and narrative support, but I do not provide legal advice or representation.

WILLS

A clear, reassuring guide to help you understand the will‑writing and estate‑planning process.

Planning your affairs should feel calm, structured, and fully supported.
Below are answers to the questions clients ask most often — especially those in later life, families supporting elderly parents, and individuals with complex circumstances.
Consultations
Do I have to have a home consultation?
No. You are welcome to choose whichever consultation style feels most comfortable.
I offer:
* Home Consultation
* In‑Person Consultation
* Online Consultation
All three options provide the same level of professional support.
Do you offer visits outside Brentwood?
Yes. For clients in nearby towns, care homes, or hospices, I offer an Extended‑Area Consultation.
Fee: £45–£65 depending on location.
This is ideal for clients who require additional support or are unable to travel.
Can my children or family join the consultation?
Yes. Many clients prefer to involve adult children or trusted relatives.
This can be done in person or via online consultation.
How long does it take to complete a will?
Most wills are completed within 7–10 days, including drafting, revisions, and signing guidance.
Urgent cases can be prioritised where needed.
What documents do I need for my will?
You don’t need much.
Typically:
ID (passport or driving licence)
Names of executors
Names of beneficiaries
A simple list of assets
Any existing will (if you have one)
If you’re unsure, we can go through everything during your consultation.
What if I already have a will?
I can review your existing will and advise whether it needs updating.
A Will Review is £45.
Can you store my will?
Yes. I offer secure storage through HM Courts & Tribunals Service.
Fee: £23 (government fee) + £20 admin.
See HMCTS Will Storage for details.
How do I sign my will?
I provide full signing guidance to ensure your will is legally valid.
This can be done:
during a home consultation
at an in‑person meeting
or with clear written instructions if signing independently.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Do I need both types of LPA?
Most clients choose both:
Property & Financial Affairs LPA
Health & Welfare LPA
This ensures your affairs are protected in all circumstances.
How long does an LPA take to register?
The Office of the Public Guardian typically takes 8–12 weeks to register an LPA.
Your documents remain valid once registered.
Can you help me choose my solicitor?
Yes. We discuss this carefully during your consultation to ensure you choose the right people.
Trusts
Do I need a trust in my will?
Not always — but trusts are extremely helpful for:
*blended families
*vulnerable beneficiaries
*property protection
*children under 18
*inheritance tax planning
See Trusts for more detail.
Are trusts expensive?
No. Trusts within a will are fixed‑fee additions, starting from:
Children’s Trust — £75
Life Interest Trust — £150
Discretionary Trust — £250
Fees & Payments
Are your fees fixed?
Yes. All fees are fixed and listed clearly on the Wills & Fixed Fees page.
Do you charge VAT?
No. All fees are VAT‑free.
When do I pay?
Payment is made once your draft documents are prepared.
For LPAs, payment is made before registration with the OPG.
General QuestionsDo you work with elderly or vulnerable clients?
Yes. I regularly support older clients, clients with mobility issues, and clients in care settings.
A calm, patient, and respectful approach is central to my service.
Can you help if I’m not sure what I need?
Absolutely.
Your consultation is designed to give you clarity, structure, and confidence, even if you’re starting with no knowledge at all.
Do you offer urgent appointments?
Yes.
Urgent cases (such as clients in hospital or hospice) can be prioritised.
Are you insured?I hold £2,000,000 Professional Indemnity Insurance with Hiscox, covering will writing, LPA preparation, estate‑planning advice, loss of documents, cyber incidents and data breaches.

Environmental Social and Government (ESG) statement

1. Introduction

This ESG Hub outlines the practical steps we take to operate responsibly, transparently, and proportionately to our size. We focus on actions we can evidence, avoid exaggerated claims, and commit to strengthening our approach as we grow. Our ESG practices support long‑term resilience, ethical conduct, and investor confidence.

2. Environmental Responsibility

Our environmental footprint is naturally low due to our digital‑first operations. We do not manufacture physical products or maintain industrial premises. Instead, we focus on areas where we can make a real, measurable difference.

Environmental practices we actively use:Digital‑only workflows — all documentation, contracts, and communication are electronic.Remote‑first operations— meetings and collaboration are conducted online, reducing travel emissions.Energy‑efficient hosting — our website and tools run on modern cloud infrastructure with published sustainability commitments.Minimal physical waste — no physical products, packaging, or printed materials.Responsible disposal — outdated devices are recycled through certified e‑waste channels.Supplier awareness — we favour digital providers with sustainability or environmental transparency statements.Digital Waste Reduction – Large email inboxes, heavy cloud storage backups, and unorganized file archives take up massive server energy. Old data archives are periodically purged in line with GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council Article 5(1)(e).Contract Disputes (The Limitation Act 1980): Under English law provides that a client has up to 6 years to bring a legal claim against a business for breach of a standard commercial contract. This a lawful basis under GDPR to retain all related project files and communications for exactly 6 years after the contract ends to defend the firm against disputes.

We aim to create a supportive, balanced working environment for ourselves and anyone we collaborate with.

Good governance underpins responsible growth. Our governance practices are practical, proportionate, and based on controls we actively use.

4.1 Anti‑Corruption and Ethical ConductWe maintain a clear anti‑corruption approach aligned with the UK Bribery Act 2010.Specific measures we use:No cash payments — all transactions are electronic for full traceability.Transparent pricing — quotes, fees, and discounts are documented in writing.No undisclosed commissions — we do not accept referral fees or incentives unless disclosed.Gift boundaries — we do not offer or accept gifts above a nominal value (e.g., £50).Documented decision‑making — proposals, agreements, and key decisions are recorded.Supplier independence — no exclusive supplier relationships unless justified and documented.Conflict‑of‑interest transparency — any potential conflict is declared and managed openly.Cyber Security Practices – Since we deal with critical financial report preparation and commercial contract management, we use multi-factor authentication (MFA) and encrypted password vaults to enhance security.

* Secure digital storage for documents and financial records
* Email documentation for decisions relating to pricing and scope

4.7 Digital Accessibility:The Menara Aspen Advisory website includes an integrated accessibility toolbar and ongoing accessibility monitoring to support inclusive access for all users.

4.8 What we do NOT claim:* We do not claim to offer formal mental health programmes.
* We do not claim to provide clinical support.
* We do not claim large‑scale wellbeing impact.
* Our focus is on maintaining a healthy, sustainable working environment for ourselves and anyone we collaborate with.
