Sorry to start this as I know something has been posted on these, but my inept searching finds nothing.
I have just received a letter from my solicitor that drafted up our Enduring Power of Attorney.
The gist is "that in October the existing Power of Attorney will no longer be able to be prepared & instead there will come into force a Lasting PofA".
"This new LPA will be much longer & therefore more costly (£75 + vat single - £115 + vat joint)"
"Do I want a Power of Attorney prepared now ?" (the letter asks)
The last line is "Please disregard this letter if you already have a Power of Attorney or if you do not want one at this stage".
We have already set-up Enduring Power of Attorney.
It looks like a blanket letter I assume that our EPA will still be valid.
I will ask the solicitors but thought I'd put it to TP members for a clearer understandable answer.
