Do I need a solicitor for an LPA in Sunderland?
No, you don't need a solicitor to create a Lasting Power of Attorney in Sunderland or anywhere in England and Wales. Our online service guides you through the entire process, and our documents are fully compliant with Office of the Public Guardian requirements. You'll need a witness to sign, but this can be any independent adult.

Yes! Our online LPA service is available to all residents of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, and throughout England and Wales. You can complete the entire process from home without visiting a solicitor's office. We've helped thousands of North East families create their LPAs.
What happens if I don't have an LPA in Sunderland?
If you lose mental capacity without an LPA, your family will need to apply to the Court of Protection for deputyship. This process costs £3,000+ in legal fees, takes 6-12 months, and the court decides who manages your affairs - not you. Creating an LPA now gives you control over who makes decisions for you.
