Lasting Power of Attorney specialists in Kensington

A Kensington LPA drafted in good health is the only one worth having

LPAs cannot be made after capacity is lost. A Kensington homeowner in their seventies who is still sharp today has a window; the same homeowner after a stroke has no window at all. The only LPA worth having is the one drafted while the principal is unambiguously well.

Why Kensington LPAs should be drafted at retirement, not after a health event

The classic Kensington LPA timing is wrong. Families tend to draft LPAs after a memory test or a minor stroke, at which point capacity questions may already be in play. The right timing is earlier, ideally at retirement, when the principal is unambiguously capable and the process is straightforward.

A Kensington LPA pair (Property and Financial Affairs, plus Health and Welfare) is particularly important where the property value means a Court of Protection application would be protracted and expensive. A W8 home worth £2 million needs attorney authority in place before it is needed, not after.

Blended-family Kensington households add a specific drafting consideration. Who are the attorneys, how do they act (jointly or severally), and what do they do if they disagree, all require careful thought when children from different relationships may have conflicting views. Specialist drafters handle this with explicit instructions rather than leaving it to interpretation.

The Kensington LPA window that closes quietly

A homeowner in Notting Hill or Holland Park with early-stage cognitive changes may already lack capacity for LPA drafting, even though daily life continues. The certificate provider requirement exists precisely to confirm capacity at signing, and a specialist drafter will decline to proceed where capacity is doubtful. The window closes earlier than families expect, which is the argument for drafting early.
