Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors in Hull
If a person loses their mental capacity, it is unlikely that they will be able to deal with their own affairs, for example their finances and health matters. Naturally these circumstances can be incredibly sensitive for both the person concerned and their loved ones. Our Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors in Hull can provide empathetic and practical legal assistance to plan for these difficult situations.
To prepare for a future time where an individual may lose mental capacity, that individual can put a Lasting Power of Attorney in place. If the person (referred to as the Donor) became unable to make decisions for themselves, their Attorney (or Attorneys) would then be legally entitled to make important decisions on their behalf.
There are two different types of Lasting Power of Attorney, and the documents can be prepared flexibly depending on the Donor’s needs. Our solicitors can provide guidance on both types of Lasting Powers of Attorney, these include, a Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney and a Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney.
Our expert solicitors at Rollits can provide legal support in many ways, including:
- Supporting those who are acting as Attorneys
- Assisting individuals to create a Lasting Power of Attorney
- Lasting Power of Attorney Disputes

Court of Protection matters
Where an individual does not have a Lasting Power of Attorney, they will not be able to create one unless they still possess mental capacity.
If they do not have mental capacity, it will be necessary for a loved one to apply to the Court of Protection to gain Deputyship. Once appointed as a Deputy, their loved one will be able to make certain important decisions for the person who lacks capacity. These decisions will depend on what the Court authorises, based on the circumstances.
Where a decision must be made that the Deputy does not have the authority to make, the Deputy or another appropriate party will need to apply to the Court of Protection for help with this matter.
Our Lasting Power of Attorney solicitors in Hull can provide support across all Court of Protection matters, if you need help with a Court of Protection legal matter, please get in touch.
