Lasting Power of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which allocates what will happen to you in the event that you are no longer capable of making decisions for yourself. This document permits you to choose one or more person(s) to make decisions regarding your daily routine, financial assets and medical treatment. These decisions may involve choosing which care home you move into, as well as the extent of the life-sustaining treatment which you will receive.
At TM Law we believe that by arranging these plans now, you and your family can alleviate any stress which may arise in the future. As such, we offer fixed fee services to help you arrange a Lasting Power of Attorney which will be designed in accordance with your wishes.

When arranging a Lasting Power of Attorney, there are two options available;
A Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney
A Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to make arrangements regarding your future medical treatment. By arranging this document, you allocate one or more person(s) to make decisions regarding your daily routine, care home arrangements as well as any medical care and life sustaining treatment which you may receive. This document can only be used when you are deemed incapable of making your own decisions.
When arranging a Power of Attorney, you can choose one or more attorney to make your decisions for you. If you choose multiple attorneys, you can allow them to act alone, or you can make arrangements so that they must act together. If you decide that you want both attorneys to act together, then the Lasting Power of Attorney document will fail in the event of either attorney dying or losing the ability to manage your affairs in any way. Therefore, it is advisable to nominate a replacement attorney to take over the responsibility of making your decisions, in the event that any of these circumstances should occur.
A Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney
A Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power Of Attorney allows you to make arrangements regarding your financial assets; including any property which you may possess. By arranging this document, you allocate one or more person(s) to make decisions regarding your bill payments, benefits collection, selling any property you may own, as well as the sale or distribution of any other financial assets which you may possess. However, unlike a Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney, this document can be used as soon as it is registered, so long as you grant permission to do so.
At TM Law, our team of solicitors are happy to explain the process of arranging a Power of Attorney to you in greater detail and can help you to complete the official forms required in order to allocate and register a Lasting Power of Attorney.

Mr Maylin is absolutely fantastic, he knows what he is talking about as he is a specialist .I had a situation with a company that was using “sharpe sales tactics” firstly he managed to calm me down and gave me the correct advise on how to handle the company. I’m extremely glad I didn’t pay the company demanding money from me.
In the event you have an issue like mine then speak to Terry as he will know the solution. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm in the future.

When all else fails
When all else fails and you have to turn to solicitors you wont go wrong using TM LAW. Not the first time I’ve had to use them and am never disappointed. I have used them from drawing up lease agreements to pursuing monies through the courts system and have never had a bad experience with them by my side.

I used Terry Maylin to help with a large disability discrimination and unfair dismissal case for a family member, and thanks to his professionalism and attention to detail we won the case. I would highly recommend Terry and his company TM Law for any legal matters.

Excellent experience with Terry at TM Law. Got straight to the job and very quickly when i was struggling to find someone for a letter for the DVSA. Even when i was asked to change someone Terry, again, done this for me straight away without hesitation. I will continue to use Terry and TM Law for anything i may need in the future.

Terry Maylin at TM Law has assisted me on a number of personal and business related matters over the years and I have always been very pleased with the results he has achieved.
In particular, Terry has recently recovered a large sum of money from a client who chose not to pay my fee invoice for a structural design project. As always, Terry was very patient as he clearly explained every step of the process to me. Thanks to his expertise, the matter was swiftly resolved and I really can’t recommend him highly enough. I would not hesitate to recommend Terry at TM Law to anyone who needs prompt and reliable legal advice and action.

Thank you once again for all the invaluable help you have undertaken on behalf of clients I have referred to you in respect of amounts owed to HMRC and petitions for winding up.
I know that my clients have been greatly impressed and it’s fair to say that without your help they would be in serious trouble.
