LPA Meeting preparation for your telephone appointment
To ensure we can complete the process efficiently, there are a few key details and documents you’ll need to prepare ahead of the call.

Please have the following information ready:
1. Your Personal Information
- Full legal name

- Current address
2. Details for Your Attorney(s)

- Their date of birth and current address
- Their relationship to you (e.g. spouse, friend or sibling)
- Their contact details (phone number and email)
3. Replacement Attorney(s) (Optional)
- If you’d like to appoint replacement attorneys (who can step in if your primary attorneys are unable to act), please have the same details as above ready for them.
4. Certificate Provider

5. Preferences for Decision Making
- Do you want your attorneys to act jointly (together) or jointly and severally (independently)?
- Do you have any specific instructions or preferences for how your attorneys should make decisions?
6. Financial and Property Decisions LPA (if applicable)

- Your LPA document will need to be signed in the presence of an independent witness. While this can be arranged later, it may be helpful to think about who could act as your witness.
If you’re unsure about any of the above or have questions ahead of our call, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We’re here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your LPA is completed accurately and tailored to your needs.
