Do I need a solicitor for an LPA in Taunton?
No, you don't need a solicitor to create a Lasting Power of Attorney in Taunton 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.

Yes! Our online LPA service is available to all residents of Taunton, Somerset, and throughout England and Wales. You can complete the entire process from home without visiting a solicitor's office. We've helped thousands of South West families create their LPAs.
What happens if I don't have an LPA in Taunton?
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.
