Case Study: How David and Juliet Took Control of Their Future with Power of Attorney Online

27th October 2025

When David and his wife Juliet from Knockholt began helping their elderly parents manage their affairs, they had an important realisation: it might not be long before they would need similar support.

“We’d been supporting our elderly parents with their finances and healthcare decisions,” says David. “And it made us think: if anything happened to us, who would make those decisions for us? We soon realised we might need help too in the not-too-distant future.”

That reflection prompted them to explore Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): a legal document that ensures someone you trust can make decisions on your behalf if you ever lose the capacity to do so yourself.

Why More Couples Are Setting Up a UK Lasting Power of Attorney Sooner

Like many families, David and Juliet assumed getting an LPA in place would be time-consuming, complicated, and expensive. But when a friend recommended Power of Attorney Online, they discovered how straightforward it could be.

“We couldn’t have been happier with how simple the process was to make the application,” David explains. “It was straightforward, great value, and very efficient from start to finish.”

With clear step-by-step guidance and helpful explanations, the couple completed both their LPAs quickly and confidently, all from the comfort of home.

How Power of Attorney Online Simplifies the UK LPA Application Process

At Power of Attorney Online, we help people create their Lasting Power of Attorney without the confusion or high legal fees often associated with traditional solicitors.

Our online platform walks users through every decision, from choosing attorneys to signing and submitting documents to the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).

For David and Juliet, this meant less paperwork, less stress, and full confidence that everything had been completed correctly.

The Benefits of Having a Lasting Power of Attorney in Place

Now that their LPAs are complete and registered, David and Juliet feel reassured knowing their wishes will always be respected and that their loved ones won’t face unnecessary legal stress in the future.

“I’d recommend everyone to get a Power of Attorney, for the sake of themselves and their loved ones.”

Having an LPA means that if illness, injury, or dementia ever affects decision-making ability, the people you trust most can step in immediately, without court delays or costly applications.
