Low Cost Lasting Power of Attorney Service

Did you know the CAAS Team can assist with setting up Lasting Power of Attorney for both Health & Welfare and Property & Financial Affairs from only £100 per LPA.

This gives you more control over what happens to you if you have an accident or an illness and cannot make your own decisions (you ‘lack mental capacity’). You can appoint one or more people to act as Attorneys to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.

Give the CAAS Team a call on 01946 552166 to discuss.
