Bedfordshire Lasting Power of Attorney Lawyer

Secure your future with lasting power of attorney in Bedfordshire

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a vital legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the capacity to do so. Whether it’s managing your finances or health and welfare, Marley Solicitors is here to help Bedfordshire residents create LPAs that provide peace of mind. From Bedford to Luton and beyond, our expert team guides you through the process with clarity and care.

We understand that planning for the future can feel overwhelming. Our straightforward approach ensures the LPA process is simple, affordable, and tailored to your needs, protecting you and your loved ones.

Lasting power of attorney in the UK and Bedfordshire

Despite its importance, many people in the UK have not set up an LPA. Here are some key statistics:

• Family court statistics show that 1,161,958 LPAs were registered in the UK in 2023, a 37% increase from the previous year, reflecting growing awareness.
• A 2022 survey found that 78% of UK adults have not registered an LPA, with 77% of those over 55 also lacking one, highlighting a significant gap in planning.
• In Bedfordshire, local legal estimates suggest that only 20-25% of adults over 50 have an LPA, based on 2023 data from regional solicitors’ practices.
• The Office of the Public Guardian reported processing an average of 60,000 LPA applications per month in 2021/22, indicating high demand for these documents.

These figures underscore the need for professional LPA services. Marley Solicitors is committed to helping Bedfordshire residents plan effectively for their future.
