wills and trusts in sheffield.

Worksop has a Sheffield postcode, so in a way I’ve always been on the edge of the city. I’ll come anywhere in Sheffield. Most of my visits are on the eastern and southern sides, nearest to me, but that’s just geography. If you’re across the other side, I’ll still come.

Depending on traffic and where you live, it’s thirty to forty-five minutes from me. The home visit is included in every price, so there’s no mileage charge on top. Evenings are fine too, which often suits people who work in town.

what if your mum or dad can’t make decisions any more?

A lot of the calls I get from Sheffield start with a grown-up son or daughter. A parent has had a fall, or a diagnosis, and suddenly nobody can deal with their bank or talk to their doctor on their behalf.

Being next of kin doesn’t give you that power. Neither does being married. What does is a lasting power of attorney. There are two kinds. One covers property and money. The other covers health and care. You choose who acts for you, while you’re still able to choose.

The key thing is timing. An LPA has to be made while the person still has capacity to understand it. If that’s gone, the family may have to apply to the Court of Protection instead, which is slower and costs more.

I do LPAs for £125 per document, and I’ll handle the paperwork and registration forms with you. There’s more on the lasting power of attorney page.

If this is on your mind, don’t wait for a crisis. Book a home visit or ring me.
