Would your loved ones be able to help if you could no longer make decisions for yourself?

A lasting power of attorney, often called an LPA, lets you choose someone you trust to make decisions for you if you lose the ability to do so in the future.

There are two main types:
• Health and welfare
• Property and financial affairs

Putting an LPA in place early can help avoid uncertainty, delays and added stress for your family later on.

Our latest blog covers why planning ahead matters:

We discuss the importance of a Lasting Power of Attorney, why families should plan ahead and how we can help.

Living together but not married?

Many couples believe that living together gives them the same legal rights as being married, but did you know that in England and Wales, there is no such thing as “common law marriage”?

This can make a big difference if you buy a home together, have children, separate or one partner passes away.

If you are living with a partner, or planning to move in together, it is worth understanding where you stand legally and financially.

We were delighted to sponsor this year’s Spring Disco at St Katharine’s School! 💃🕺

It is wonderful to hear that over 400 happy children came together for such a fun event and, even more amazing, an incredible £1,141 was raised! 🎉👏

The amount raised has been used towards building four fantastic Woodland Benches! 🌱🌳

It’s inspiring to see how these events create spectacular opportunities for the children and we are grateful to have been part of it. 🐝

Well done to everyone involved and thank you for making it such a success. 💚🤎💛
