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 Lasting Power of Attorney for property and financial affairs is the document in England and Wales that lets someone you trust step in and manage your money if you ever cannot. Useful long before capacity is gone too: a long stint abroad, a stay in hospital, recovering from surgery. Most people in the UK set this up alongside the Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney, because one without the other leaves a serious gap.
Why a Property and Financial Lasting Power of Attorney matters
Your bank account freezes the moment you lose mental capacity, joint accounts included. Without a Property and Financial Lasting Power of Attorney, the only route in England and Wales is a Court of Protection deputyship: six months and over £1,000 in fees while everything sits frozen. This matters just as much if you are single or live alone, because no partner or relative has an automatic right to step in.

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 see my bank statements right now?▾
Only if you picked the "use as soon as registered" option on your Lasting Power of Attorney. If you opted for "only after loss of capacity", they cannot touch the account until a doctor confirms you need the help.
Can they sell my home?▾
Yes, if doing so is in your best interests. Common triggers: funding care home fees, downsizing. The attorney has to record the reasoning and stand behind it.
What happens with more than one attorney?▾
You choose. Jointly means they all have to agree. Jointly and severally means any one of them can act. Mixed means you can split the rules. Most people in England and Wales pick jointly and severally.
Is a Property and Financial Affairs Power of Attorney valid across the UK?▾
A Lasting Power of Attorney made in England or Wales is valid across England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own equivalent documents.
How much does it cost?▾
£69 with Keystone, with a free Will included worth £59. We confirm any government registration fee at checkout.
