Lasting powers of attorney in Somerset: The facts

Lasting Powers of Attorney are increasingly vital for Somerset residents planning for the future. Here are some key statistics:

• In 2023/24, over 835,950 LPAs were registered across England and Wales, with the South West, including Somerset, seeing significant uptake due to its ageing population.
• Nationally, 85% of UK adults still lack an LPA, leaving many Somerset residents at risk of costly Court of Protection applications if they lose capacity.
• In 2023/24, the Office of the Public Guardian received over 2,000 LPA applications daily, reflecting growing awareness among Somerset residents of the need for LPAs.

These figures highlight the importance of setting up an LPA. Marley Solicitors is dedicated to helping Somerset residents protect their future.
