FAQ
Most common configuration: (1) each partner names the other as primary attorney, (2) each names a child or trusted friend as replacement attorney in case of simultaneous incapacity. Classic but robust mutual protection.
That's exactly what replacement attorneys are for, mandatorily designated in this setup. Without them, your family would need to go through Court of Protection (long and costly). Major advantage of well-structured Mirror LPA.
No. You can have different configurations. Often it's mirror (each names the other + same replacement), but it can diverge: e.g., one of you trusts a child for Property but the other for Health. I structure to your real wishes.
LPA-2 × 2 = £1,550. Mirror LPA base configuration = £775. £775 saving thanks to process mutualisation. For the complete Property+Health × 2 persons setup, custom quote ~£1,150 (£400 saving).
Yes and it's the smartest couple estate planning package: Mirror Wills (£625) + Mirror LPAs (£775) = £1,400 → £1,275 with discount. Complete coverage of will + incapacity protection for both partners.
