Powers of Attorney
Lasting Powers of Attorneys are an essential part of planning for the future.
As we get older there is a risk that we become infirm or suffer illness which results in becoming unable to manage our own affairs. Even if this is not a concern for you, you could suffer an accident which causes a sudden unexpected loss of capacity.
Whilst we understand it’s not a pleasant topic to imagine, it is important that you consider what would happen in this scenario and how you would like it to be managed.
It is therefore sensible to consider making a Lasting Power of Attorney, by appointing someone you trust to manage your affairs on your behalf as an essential part of planning for the unforeseeable.
There are 2 different types of Lasting Powers of Attorney; A Property and Financial Affairs LPA and a Health and Welfare LPA. Below explains which each can cover:

Our reviews
Sophie Costello
Sophie helped us arrange a Lasting Power of Attorney and made the whole process really comfortable and clear. She was hugely patient, friendly, warm and caring. We didn’t feel rushed or ‘just another customer’, although she must deal with LPAs every day. Her professionalism and individual customer service are to be commended. Thank you so much Sophie!
Alicia Burbeary
My wife and I decided to use Jordan’s Solicitors as they had a local office in Horsforth where we live. We wanted advice on rewriting our wills and on Powers of Attorney to suit our current family circumstances. Alicia Burbeary, Solicitor, gave us clear and comprehensive advice on what can be a very complicated area of law. We cannot thank her enough for the assistance she has given us.
Jordans Wills Team
Dual LPA set up successfully, explanations & guidance were excellent with very good communications, including consulting relevant family members.
Sophie Costello
Sophie is very good at dealing with elderly people, she has a nice way about her... I am 84 years old and was a bit nervous about seeing a Solicitor but Sophie put me at ease straight away.
Private Client Team
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Jordan’s solicitors for the past 12 months following the death of my mother. I have to say that a huge amount of anguish throughout, was lessened due to the respect shown to my late mother by all the staff I was in contact with, and in particular kept me informed weekly on the process and stages achieved with no small amount of appropriate humour. I will not hesitate to use them again should the need arise. Top marks. Thank you.
Sophie Costello
Sophie dealt with my will and LPAs very efficiently. She explained everything clearly and answered my questions in a friendly and helpful way. Sophie responded to emails quickly also. I felt that nothing was too much trouble for her.
Alicia Burbeary
I found Alicia to be a clear communicator who made sure I understood the implications of the decisions I was taking. She could not have completed the work any more efficiently; The copy of my Will was received in line with the timeline Alicia had outlined. I was most satisfied with the whole process, including the cost.
Sophie Costello
Arranging the meeting was very easy & efficient. The meeting was both friendly and courteous, everything was explained and our questions answered. The production of documentation was on time and we were proactively chased up on a delay to our return of signed documents, which we found good, as in our experience other solicitors in other practices have not been proactive. We now await the LPAs being registered.
