Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney

Who needs a Power of Attorney?
Most people setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney are doing it for themselves, or for an ageing parent. Either way, the process is built for both.
Helping an elderly parent
Work through the questionnaire together. Your parent signs in their own hand; you handle everything else.

A Health and Welfare Power of Attorney is the official government form that fixes that, by naming the person you trust to make those decisions for you.
While you are fine, they cannot do a thing with it. That is the whole design.
If you live alone or have no partner, this matters just as much. Without it, no one has the automatic right to speak for your care, so the decision falls to doctors and social workers rather than someone you chose.
What a Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney covers
A Lasting Power of Attorney for health and welfare covers medical treatment, where you live, your daily routine, and life sustaining treatment decisions. It only kicks in if a doctor confirms you have lost mental capacity in England and Wales. Until then it sits dormant.

Same legality. £300+ with a solicitor. £69 with us.
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a standard government form. A solicitor charging £300+ uses the exact same one Keystone fills in for £69. What the solicitor's fee buys is knowing which boxes to tick and what order to sign, and our guided form does that for you, with a signing pack the Office of the Public Guardian cannot reject.
Caitlin, Founder
I started Keystone after my own parents got quoted £1,400 by a solicitor for two Powers of Attorney. Exact same government forms. Exact same legal result. It just felt like something that shouldn't need to cost that much.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my attorney refuse medical treatment on my behalf?▾
Only if you gave them authority over life sustaining treatment in the form. Otherwise they make calls about everyday care, but the doctors keep the life or death decisions.
Does a Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney cover my funeral?▾
No. A Lasting Power of Attorney ends at death. Funeral wishes go in a Will instead.
Can I have both types of Power of Attorney?▾
Yes, and most people in England and Wales do. They cover different parts of your life and Keystone gives you 25% off the second document.
When does the Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney come into force?▾
The moment you lose mental capacity in the eyes of a doctor. Not a day before. Until then, your attorneys are just named on a piece of paper.
What does a Health and Welfare Power of Attorney cost?▾
£69 with Keystone, with a free Will included worth £59. We confirm any government registration fee at checkout.
