Planning for the future is essential, and a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) ensures your wishes are respected if you can no longer make decisions due to illness or incapacity. Marley Solicitors specialises in helping Shropshire residents create LPAs for financial and health matters, making the process simple, clear, and tailored to your needs. Our experienced team guides you through every step, providing peace of mind that your affairs will be managed by someone you trust.
We understand that setting up an LPA can feel overwhelming. That’s why Marley Solicitors offers compassionate, expert support to ensure your financial and welfare decisions are protected, giving you and your family confidence in the future.
Lasting powers of attorney: The facts
LPAs are vital for future planning, yet many in Shropshire have not yet put them in place. Here are some key statistics relevant to Shropshire residents:
- In 2018/19, the Office of the Public Guardian registered 835,950 LPAs across the UK, a 28.9% increase from 2016/17, reflecting growing awareness among ageing populations, including in Shropshire.
- A 2019 survey by the Office of the Public Guardian found 75% of UK adults mistakenly believe family members can automatically make decisions without an LPA, a common misconception in Shropshire’s rural communities.
- With dementia affecting 1 in 14 people over 65 in the UK (approximately 944,000 in 2022), Shropshire’s ageing population is increasingly at risk of needing LPAs to manage their affairs.
These figures highlight the importance of setting up an LPA with professional support. Marley Solicitors is here to help Shropshire residents plan for a secure future.
