Clapham & Collinge Solicitors announce first 'Charity Lasting Powers of Attorney Scheme'

Clapham & Collinge Solicitors are delighted to announce their first 'Charity Lasting Powers of Attorney Scheme' taking place throughout November 2017.

As we continue with our campaign to raise awareness about the legal and financial implications of dementia and the importance of having the correct legal documents in place, we are offering a 25% discount on Lasting Powers of Attorneys during the month of November. In addition to this discount, Clapham & Collinge Solicitors will also make a £40.00 donation per Lasting Power of Attorney appointment to support 4 Norfolk based charities. Our selected charities are:

• The Benjamin Foundation

• Norfolk & Norwich Association for the Blind

• North Walsham Dementia Support Group

• Sheringham Little Theatre

I am delighted to be launching our first 'Charity Lasting Powers of Attorney Scheme' this November which is traditionally 'support a charity month'. We have a great relationship with all of our chosen charities and this scheme will mean that the monies raised will help them continue with the great work they do across Norfolk' said Andrea Smith, Marketing executive.

If you lose the ability to manage your own affairs, a partner or family member cannot automatically deal with things on your behalf. A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that enables people you choose to have legal authority to make certain decisions for you, if you become unable to make them yourself. A Lasting Power of Attorney gives you the reassurance of knowing your wishes will be respected if you become unable to make decisions for yourself, and it enables people you choose to have access to your finances to make payments on your behalf.

'Ensuring you have the right correct legal documents in place and forward planning can protect yourself and your loved ones. I always advise my clients to plan ahead for later life and have those important conversations with their family and friends while they can' said Lin Whitehead, Head of the Private Client team.

The cost of preparing and registering a Lasting Power of Attorney, will depend on whether you wish to have both a Lasting Power of Attorney (Property and Financial Affairs) and/or a Lasting Power of Attorney (Health and Welfare) prepared and registered.

If you instruct us through this scheme and you would also like to make a Will, we will offer Wills at our usual fee but will also make an additional £40 donation to the 4 Norfolk based charities.

To claim your discount and book your November appointment, please contact Harriet Boorman on 01603 693537 or email har@clapham-collinge.co.uk

All appointments must take place by Friday 1st December 2017.

Appointments available at our Norwich, North Walsham, and Sheringham offices.
