Despite the Lockdown we continue to be busy with new
enquires for Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs). People are
recognising the importance of taking control of their affairs and planning for
the future.
Our Private Client Nicola Steadman shares her
thoughts:
Although the message is to #StayAtHome, don’t let this
put you off! There are many ways that we can ensure that your wishes are put in
place in a safe, efficient and effective way. We can take instructions in
writing or email, by telephone or video call. Email will be used where
available to ensure draft documents can be sent and amended quickly.
When it comes to signing your Will or LPA, we will
explain to you how you can arrange your own witnesses who can sign the
documents from a safe distance. We can also see clients ourselves in certain
situations, ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are in place.
As people
find themselves stuck indoors, LPAs are even more important than ever, enabling
family members to undertake banking, deal with financial institutions etc. If you’ve found dealing with your day to day
life administration hard during lockdown, now is the time to think about
preparing an LPA. They are not just for
when a person lacks capacity.
Don’t
let lockdown stop you from dealing with these important issues. We can help you. After all, where there’s a will there’s a
way!
