Acting in your interest
Did you know that lawyers can be appointed as a person’s Attorney (under a Lasting Power of Attorney) or Deputy (under a Deputyship Order)? At Blanchards Bailey, we act for many clients in this regard, with a dedicated team of experts committed to delivering a supportive and empathetic service.
There are many reasons why a lawyer may be appointed as an Attorney or Deputy. Most commonly, this will happen when a person does not have any family members who are close enough to be appointed. Sometimes, people simply prefer to keep their finances separate from their families, either because their affairs are complex or high value, or simply due to a personal preference to appoint professionals to the position.
Our role is to act in our client’s best interests at all times. We take our responsibility extremely seriously and understand we have been appointed because of our knowledge and expertise of the law, and our commitment to act in a caring and sympathetic manner. We appreciate the privilege of being entrusted with a person’s life savings and ensure we always act with due care and diligence to safeguard our client’s best interests.
