Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)

LPA Legal Café
You never think you’ll need one — until you do.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is one of the most important legal documents you can have in place — and yet, many people put it off until it’s too late.
At our LPA Legal Café, we make it easy, calm and free.
Held in a friendly café setting in the heart of Kettering, this drop-in session offers expert help to guide you through the process of completing your LPA — with tea, cake, and a lawyer on hand to answer your questions.
Who Should Have an LPA?
Anyone aged 18 or over.
That includes:
-
Adults planning ahead in case of illness or accident
-
Older adults thinking about future care or support
-
People managing long-term health conditions
-
Families who want clarity and peace of mind
An LPA gives someone you trust the legal power to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the ability to do so — whether it’s temporary (such as during a hospital stay) or longer-term (due to illness or injury).
Without an LPA, your loved ones can face long delays, legal costs, and extra stress just to support you in managing your affairs.
