"More important than a Will”?

You may have seen the recent article in The Independent featuring Martin Lewis, highlighting the importance of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs).

https://www.independent.co.uk/money/martin-lewis-lpa-recommendation-power-of-attorney-b3047754.html

While making a Will is incredibly important, an LPA can be just as valuable. It allows you to choose someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if, in the future, you are unable to do so yourself.

There are two types of LPA:
🏡 Property & Financial Affairs – covering things such as your finances, property and bills.
❤️ Health & Welfare – covering decisions about your care and treatment.

An LPA isn’t just something to think about when you’re older. Putting one in place while you have the mental capacity to do so means you can choose who you would want to help you, rather than leaving your family to face what can be a much more complicated and expensive process later.

If you have a Will but don’t have LPAs in place, it may be worth reviewing your arrangements.

At Clowes & Co Solicitors, we can help you understand what is involved and put the right arrangements in place for you and your family.

The article is well worth a read if you’re unsure whether an LPA is something you need.

The money-saving expert says he has had this document since he was in his 30s

A Week in the Life... Puppy Edition!

What a week it has been!

📚 Brushed up on property law (or at least given the textbook a thorough inspection!).
📓 Attended his first team meeting.
🚶 Headed out on his first office walk.
💤 Perfected the art of the desk nap.
😍 Met lots of new people, hanging out in reception.

Safe to say, Reggie is settling in to office life brilliantly and has quickly become a favourite around the office.

Want to know a little more about what we do at Clowes & Co?Take a look at our website https://clowessolicitors.co.uk/ or pop into our office for a chat.

And, of course, there’s always the added bonus of a cuddle from Reggie!

You’ve all met our newest team member, Reggie. After his first week in the office he has settled in perfectly!

Safe to say he has already become everyone’s favourite colleague.

Working in the office and spreading happiness wherever he goes is exhausting work, so we think he definitely earned this well-deserved nap!

Sweet dreams Reggie, another busy day of making everyone smile awaits tomorrow!

We've done it again... another completion in just 12 days!

Following on from our recent post, we are pleased to have completed another property transaction in just 12 days from instruction to completion.

We were contacted by Daniel & Hulme who asked if we could assist with a sale that needed to complete urgently. The buyers were due to complete the sale of their own property on 20 July, so it was essential that the purchase completed on the same day to keep the chain together.

Thanks to the proactive approach of everyone involved, excellent communication between all parties and a real team effort, we were able to meet the deadline and complete on time.

Whilst we know that every transaction is different and timescales can vary, this is another great example of what can be achieved when everyone works together with the same goal.

If you're thinking of moving home and would like to see how we work, we'd be happy to provide a no-obligation conveyancing quote.
