Case Studies: How LPAs Have Helped Real Clients

Case Studies: How Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) helped real clients with their financial, health, and welfare decisions in the UK.

At Ola Leslie Solicitors, we have seen how a well-prepared LPA can make a real difference in peoples lives. Here are a few anonymised examples.

Case Study 1: Planning Ahead for Dementia

Client: Male, 58
Following a diagnosis of early-onset dementia, the client appointed his wife and adult daughter as joint attorneys. Within two years, he had lost capacity. The LPA allowed them to manage his investments and arrange care without needing a court order.

Case Study 2: Serious Accident Abroad

Client: Female, 34
While travelling abroad, a young professional was left in a coma after a car accident. Her parents had been appointed as attorneys through a Property and Financial Affairs LPA. They accessed her accounts to manage mortgage payments and bills.

Case Study 3: Supporting an Ageing Parent

Client: Couple in their 40s acting for elderly mother
The mother signed both types of LPA with her children as attorneys. Later, they used the Health and Welfare LPA to challenge poor care home conditions and secure better treatment.

Each example shows the value of planning early with a trusted legal advisor.
