Wills and Power of Attorney service

At Shreeve Care Services, we understand that caring for yourself and your loved ones goes beyond meeting day-to-day needs. Planning ahead can provide reassurance, protect your wishes, and give your family confidence during challenging times.

That’s why we are delighted to introduce our new Wills and Power of Attorney service as part of our growing range of care advisory support.

Why Is Future Planning Important?

Many people put off making a Will or arranging a Lasting Power of Attorney because they believe they have plenty of time or think these matters only affect older people. The reality is that unexpected events can happen at any stage of life, and having the right plans in place ensures that your wishes are respected.

Taking these steps now can save your loved ones unnecessary stress, uncertainty, and expense in the future.

What Is a Will?

A Will is a legal document that outlines how you would like your money, property, possessions, and other assets to be distributed after your death. It also allows you to:

• Appoint executors to carry out your wishes.
• Name guardians for children under the age of 18.
• Specify gifts to family members, friends, or charities.
• Help minimise potential disputes among loved ones.

Without a valid Will, the law determines how your estate is distributed, which may not reflect your personal wishes.

What Is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself.

There are two types of LPA:

Property and Financial Affairs LPA

This allows your chosen attorney to manage matters such as:

• Paying bills.
• Managing bank accounts.
• Handling pensions and benefits.
• Dealing with property and investments.

Health and Welfare LPA

This enables your attorney to make decisions relating to:

• Medical treatment.
• Care arrangements.
• Daily routines and personal welfare.
• Life-sustaining treatment preferences (if you choose).

Having an LPA in place means the people you trust can support you when it matters most.
